Description
This is a classic Joshua Tree sport route - short and to-the-point with demanding and unusual moves. Make your way up a steep wall past several horizontals and a lower crux (5.11+) to the top where you will encounter a somewhat reachy crux.
Shorter climbers may find the crux, and the route, to be slightly harder than the rating indicates.
Left of this is Patracide, a decent short warm-up route and to the right is Factor 1, another even more difficult climb.
* It is interesting to note that this climb has also been soloed several times.
