Description Suggest change

A bouldery crux is below the first bolt. Feel free to use a stick clip then follow the line of tan bolts through the line of pockets, up an open dihedral, just left of Red Dihedral. The second crux is near the top. Keep a wide stance and climb with confidence. Route gets its name from when I was bolting the line. Midway up, while drilling an anchor hole, the drill bit penetrated a pocket of rock that was holding about five gallons of water. Immediately, water squirted from around the drill bit and started gushing out of the hole in the rock, like an oil well. Hence the name. A different hole was then drilled for the bolt.

Location Suggest change

Find the line of tan bolts between Unclung Hero and the Red Dihedral. These three routes fit snug into this section of the Red Dihedral Wall.

Protection Suggest change

Line of bolts to mussy hooks.
