Access Issue: Red Rock RAIN AND WET ROCK: The sandstone is fragile and is very easily damaged when wet. Details

Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm, the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN RED ROCKS during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.

HUMAN WASTE Human waste is one of the major issues plaguing Red Rocks. The Las Vegas Climbers Liaison Council and the AAC provides free "wag bags" in several locations (Black Velvet, First Pullout, Kraft Mtn/Bouldering, The Gallery, and The Black Corridor). These bags are designed so that you can pack your waste out - consider bringing one to be part of your kit (just like your rope and shoes and lunch) no matter where you go. Once used, please dispose of them properly (do not throw them in the toilets at the parking area).

Description

Burros Gone Wild is a good ol' pitch of blue-collar struggle high on the Mustang Wall. It is more or less a variation to the finish of either The Dragon or Pegasus - climbing a flaring chimney created by a massive flake sandwiched between the upper parts of those routes. Kinda reminiscent of the Epinephrine chimneys but much harder. It's quite fun if you're into this sort of thing and the rock is clean and well-varnished.

P1-3: Climb either the first 3.5 pitches of The Dragon or the first 3 pitches of Pegasus and belay on the long belay ledge out right of the teetering Jenga Flake.

P4: Climb leftwards off the ledge, across the Jenga Flake, and up as for The Dragon, but at the base of the Green Corner, move back right across varnished edges to access the bottom of the massive flake. It would be possible to set up an uncomfortable hanging belay here which will really help with rope drag up higher. If you link through, as was done on the FA, it is important to back clean or heavily runner as much as possible up to this point or pay the price. Another solid option might be to tie in to both ends of the rope, leading on one then dropping it once at the flake. Launch up into the flare behind the flake - easy at first, and harder up high fighting through a steep OW section. Ramble on to the final anchor of Pegasus.
