Description
This area is not that popular, secluded, and offers sunnier climbing during the winter months. The rock, like a lot of SSV rock is often grainy and sharp. This isn't Eldo, but there won't be a line either.
Getting There
Deadman's Gulch is approximately 3.65 miles up SSV canyon from the intersection of US 36 and CO 7 in Lyons. There are large and small pullouts on the left at this distance up the canyon. Directly across CO 7 from this pulloff is the gulch which, during the wet months, has a small creek running through it. There are a few rock formations that host some short rock climbs that face south, the Atoll, the Dancehall of the Dead, the Shrine of Vanity, and the Deadman's Gulch Boulder.
