Gully - Right Side is a climbing area in California's Tahoe National Forest, within the Truckee Ranger District. It is managed by the Forest Service and sits just a tenth of a mile from Gully - Left Side and North Face Main, so the area works well for combining several climbing spots in a single outing. The climbing here is a mix of styles, with routes ranging from 5.8 to 5.11+. About seven routes are listed, including mixed, sport and trad options. Among them are Hair Shirt at 5.8 and On Edge at 5.11c. Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster and Hair And Now are both 5.11+. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. A nearby weather station typically averages highs around 82°F in July, with lows near 44°F, and only about two wet days a month from July through September. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the climbing area, so temperatures up high run cooler. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail #2000 passes about 0.4 miles away, and Lake Mary Trail is 0.9 miles off. Milton Reservoir offers fishing about 1.3 miles away, and Granite Flat campground lies about 6 miles away.
