Visible to the west of the Sand Gulch Campground is the Gallery consisting of three walls (1) Far Side the southern (left) side of the canyon facing NE (2) Menses Prow the central south facing buttress (3) Mural Wall on the right side facing west. Menses Prow includes the prow proper as well as Bulge Wall around the corner. Both this area and Mural wall have high concentrations of quality routes on good rock. Ratings run from 5.7 to 5.13, most routes in the 10-12 range. There are scattered routes on the Far Side including sections further to the North called the Pitts and the Dungeon. Just downhill from here are a couple of short steep routes on the Incredible Hulk Boulder. You can find morning shade on Mural Wall and Bulge Wall and afternoon shade at the Far Side. To get there hike the trail that starts between sites #9 and #10 in Sand Gulch Campground. Look for a fork in the trail as you approach the walls. Take the right uphill fork for Menses Wall and the Mural wall and head left down into the gulley and back up for the Far Side. Heading right at the first branch, head right at the second branch uphill to Mural Wall or left down and then up to Menses Prow. 20-30 Minute Approach.
