Swallow, Fat Man, Eat Mo' Possum. Swallow makes a great multi-pitch 5.7 but is more than a bit runout at the very top. Skip the last pitch if you're not comfortable with a 70' runout on 5.4. Also, use extreme caution not to knock down loose blocks!

Overview of selected routes in the area around P-Wall & Shadow Wall. <br> <br> My friends recently had a heck of a time trying to find the upper portion of the Eat Mo' Possum Route. Hopefully this photo will help the next team that attempts it.
Getting to Shadow - At the cattle gate/fence crossing, take the climber's trail directly west that heads up the hill. You can just see the top of Shadow wall from fence gate.
Updated Topo of the Left Side of Shadow Wall. <br> <br> Far Left Side of Shadow has several worthy routes. Bolt quality is adequate to excellent.
