  The lack of evidence for low-scale supersymmetry suggests that the scale of
supersymmetry breaking may be higher than originally anticipated. However,
there remain many motivations for supersymmetry including gauge coupling
unification and a stable dark matter candidate. Models like pure gravity
mediation (PGM) evade LHC searches while still providing a good dark matter
candidate and gauge coupling unification. Here, we study the effects of PGM if
the input boundary conditions for soft supersymmetry breaking masses are pushed
beyond the unification scale and higher dimensional operators are included. The
added running beyond the unification scale opens up the parameter space by
relaxing the constraints on $\tan\beta$. If higher dimensional operators
involving the SU(5) adjoint Higgs are included, the mass of the heavy gauge
bosons of SU(5) can be suppressed leading to proton decay, $p\to \pi^0 e^+$,
that is within reach of future experiments. Higher dimensional operators
involving the supersymmetry breaking field can generate additional
contributions to the A- and B-terms of order $m_{3/2}$. The threshold effects
involving these A- and B-terms significantly impact the masses of the gauginos
and can lead to a bino LSP. In some regions of parameter space the bino can be
degenerate with the wino or gluino and give an acceptable dark matter relic
density.
