Gallows edge is a climbing wall by White Rock, NM. This was the first place I went climbing outside. It is a beautiful area that has sheer cliff walls on one side and an expansive open view of the Rio Grande far below. This area is excellent for beginners, with a good mix of easy climbs, but it also has some harder climbs to keep it interesting and engaging. Similarly, this hat is a mix of techniques that are not difficult with a few more intermediary techniques thrown in to keep it interesting. And like rock climbing, when you are finished, you get to look down over a beautiful view and see your accomplishment, and in this case, your beautiful view includes a new hat!
