Description

This short wall is downhill and east of Wallflower Wall. Most of the climbs appear to be on the block feature on the left side of the wall. The climbs have generally been stripped of bolt hangers and are presently unclimbable.

Page 44 of "The Enchanted Tower: Sport Climbing Socorro and Datil, New Mexico" by Sal Maestes & Matthew Jones (1993) lists these climbs (should be renamed when the area is re-equipped):

Gang Bang Wall (renamed now on Mountain Project)

Fetal Screams 5.10 TR
Short Man's complex 5.11c (3 bolts and chains)
IYRESE 5.10c (3 bolts and chains)
Driving Miss Sally 5.12a (3 bolts and chains)
Fecal Shmegma 5.9 (3 bolts and chains)
Project (anchors only)
Fuck, I Don't Care 5.6 TR

Perhaps one of the Socorro locals can identify the climbs from the individual posted photos.

The climbs appear to be (from left to right, some may be missed):

pillar TR (anchor studs)

block route left (anchor studs and 3 protection bolts)
block TR (just right of above, anchor studs only)
block route center (anchor studs and 3 protection bolts)
block route right (both anchor and protection bolt studs)

black streak TR (anchor studs)
