Description

This small, isolated area has four short routes, a 13a/b, 13a, 12c/d and a 10d. The rock on all four routes is bomber and the moves on all three "hard" routes are very powerful. The movement on these routes is superb, albeit short-lived.
The name "Greg's Gully" was coined (besides obvious reasons) to differentiate it from the newly developed (at that time) Big Picture Gully.

Getting There

The most direct way to Greg's Gully potentially crosses private property, so I won't describe it here.
Hike up as if going to Blue Sky. When you reach the main trail, go right to reach the next main section of cliff (which houses Nate's "Sound of Silence", 11b). Walk along the base of the cliff following a very faint trail. As long as you have the cliffs off your left shoulder, you won't get lost. Follow this trail until a deep, obvious gully is reached, which will probably take about 15 minutes. Hike down and across this boulder-strewn gully and the routes are directly up the hillside on the other side.
