MapDescription
An easy way for newer Deep Water Soloists to get up high. This route climbs the arete right next to Oil Slick, and offers a more straightforward way to reach the top of the feature. The crux is the first or second move off the raft, followed quickly by a full body rest and an easy (5.6ish) romp to the top
Location
Just past the large angled "diving platform" on the right. There should be a small pullout onto the rocks on the left if you would like to set up camp for the day.
Protection
DWS S1: Almost always good water depth, an unlikely slip on the easy terrain could be dangerous if falling to climbers right, fall left when possible.
