Description
From the CCC Mini Gude (annotations in parenthesis):
P1: Start on (the obvious) left-facing corner/ramp till it gets steep and move around buttress to right to a belay.
P2: Climb up goove [crux], to a bush, then angling up and right aiming for a lieback flake to anchors.
P3: Slab up to large ledge and taverse right past one bolt and keep going till you climb up groove to anchors.
P4: Follow groove to the Lost World Ledge. Move right on large ledge (Lost World) to bolted rappel on Stemming Laurel. Rap from here on Stemming Laurel (or continue up and left two more pitches through hard, indistinct climbing to another groove an the top).
Rap five times to ground on two ropes.
Location
Find the obvious left facing, J-shaped corner.
Protection
Single Rack of cams 00-4 with offsets handy and a set of stoppers and tricams)...double ropes as usual.
You can continue up and left over harder terrain to another water groove that leads to the practical top, or a tree from which to rap back down, but the is unclear from the topos and I have not yet done it.
Oasis' Upper Pitches The third pitch (8) breaks right and traverses (@ about "2 o'clock") past a small right facing corner, a bolt and then up to the groove (the first obvious weakness right of oasis' overhangs).
Pitch 4 (11-) launches up the sustained groove past approximately 6 bolts to the the belay
Pitch 5 (10+) jogs left 5' and then back right following the bolts back into the overhanging groove and up to the belay.
