Welcome to the New Mexico section of Mountain Project!
The contributions that are made to this site are greatly appreciated; this site is made up of an awesome community of users that make the site what it is.
Although there is very little information regarding “rules” for submitting climbing areas and routes to this site, the New Mexico Administers all agree that the following guidelines may be helpful to truly make this site go “Beyond the Guidebook”.
1) Don’t be a jerk (this one states the obvious). 2) Route and area submissions should truly be helpful to those out climbing. Before posting, you should have some first hand experience actually climbing the route. This always results in a much more useful description. 3) Please, please, please… Don’t copy route descriptions directly out of guidebooks, online publications, etc. This is plagiarism! Remember, BEYOND the guidebook! 4) Please use the spell check and make an effort to use correct grammar.
Again, the Mountainproject community truly appreciates the efforts taken to make good route descriptions. If you feel that a route or area description is not up to standard, a brief email to one of the area admins for suggestions on improvement will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to make the New Mexico section of Mountain Project quality! We look forward to seeing you out there!

Description
The Bivi Wall is named for the ledge on its right end, about halfway up, that is "big enough to bivi on." This wall contains a few excellent routes on generally solid rock.
The Swallow Wall is around the corner to the left of the Bivi Wall, tucked away behind the massive, tilted boulder visible from the parking lot. It is named for the colony of sparrows nesting in mudhouses underneath the overhang, and features some of the longest routes on the Original Side.
Getting There
Find the Bennie Silva Wall and walk left along the cliff. Alternately, look for the massive boulder tilted 45 degrees off horizontal (the Inclined Boulder), which is clearly visible from the parking lot (and in the beta photo). The Bivi Wall is just right of this boulder, while the Swallow Wall is behind it.
