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
A good technical route. Slabby climbing with tricky moves in between good holds and rests. May protect with gear on lower part to avoid groundfall. [A 5th bolt was added recently by unknown parties and groundfall is no longer a major risk]
Location
This route is located on the far left side of the Chilly Willy area. Starts on angled west-face of the rock.
Protection
[5 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor. Cams no longer necessary, as a 5th bolt was added by unknown persons in early 2008. See comment below.]

A green, yellow, and red Aliens are useful to supplement the lack of bolts. A stick clip is good at the bottom considering you are pulling the crux before you are clipped in.
According to several LA climbers a bolt was recently added to the start of Donkey Show. I didn't add it, and am not going to chop it or anything, but I sure would like to know who added it. Cam
