Abstract: In this paper, we describe the dynamics of blow up solutions for the critical generalized KdV equation such that the initial data is close to the soliton in $L^2$ and has decay in $L^2$ at the right. In particular, we prove that blow up occurs in finite time, and we obtain an upper bound on the blow up rate.
