Description Suggest change

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.

Location Suggest change

To approach this route, walk past the right end of the west face and up slabs and boulders to reach the southern end of the formation.

Protection Suggest change

4 bolts, anchors (all 1/2" SS that were replaced in February 2017)
