Gully Wall is a climbing area on Bureau of Land Management land in Washington, within the Spokane Wenatchee Field Office. It sits among several other named climbing areas, including the Honeycomb and Anarchy Walls and the South Buttress, each about a tenth of a mile away. The climbing here is a mix of sport and trad routes. Seven routes are listed, with five of them sport and two trad. Grades range from 5.3 to 5.8 on the YDS scale, with the median around 5.7. Br'er Rabbit and Tar Baby are sport routes at 5.4 and 5.5, and High Step is a trad route at 5.7. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall work best. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Tonasket show May highs around 74°F and September highs around 77°F, though that station sits about 670 feet lower than the wall, so temperatures up high run cooler. McLoughlin Canyon Trail is about 0.8 miles away, and Tonasket RV Park is about 4.7 miles away for anyone planning an overnight stay.
