Climb steep face past 4 bolts, move left to a big hold shared with FF and then back right past one more bolt to the top.

Factor 1

Patracide

Father Figure

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.

Climbs a short, steep patina arete and while not especially memorable it does have a few good moves despite it's lack of height

Originally done without the anchor, it now exists as a short warm-up for Father Figure or some other nearby routes. One star out of five.
