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!
At the crux moves of "Procrastination", 5.11d, Rad...
Description
Lower part is continuously overhung, climbing to a bulge. Pull around this and climb hold on the arete. Eases a tiny bit but remains quite sustained. Perhaps this route will seem easier as it is climbed more, however, I felt that it was at least a letter grade more difficult than Bolting Barbie, which is rated at .12a by the online guide and .11d/.12a by the Taos Rock guide. The both guides gives this route an .11d rating.
Location
This route is the first one to the right of the left side arete on the wall. Lies between Bolting Barbie and the arete.

The crux for me definitely was clipping and passing the third bolt. The "Mama Jug" just above bolt four sure offers nice relief before the continuous moves along the arete to the finish. Enjoyable route!
I agree with Anthony's comments above--this route feels more difficult than Bolting Barbie and closer to 5.12a.
