Located on Menses Prow, immediately left of No Passion for Fashion. Only given 2 stars in Van Horn's guide, this route is easily as good as numerous other 3 star routes at Shelf. Very fun, movement oriented climbing...a welcome change from the sharp, thin pockets that characterize routes of this grade at Shelf. The first half of the route tackles the bouldery shallow dihedral and arete (crux moving past 3rd bolt). The rest of the route is low-mid 5.11.
Great fun. Thought the crux was pullin' the roof and staying on to the anchor. The dihederal is very enjoyable and keeps your attention. One of my more favorite 12s at Shelf.

The bolts on this could use some love. Many of the nuts are lose, so you may want to bring a wrench. Excellent sustained crimping!
