One of the first "great" routes at RB. The crux is getting to the 2nd bolt. From there it's just a fun ride to the top. Stick clipping the 2nd bolt is a good idea.

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.

Get yourself started and then remember the name of the route for beta.

Another route where the challenge is getting started.

Stem and jam up the finger crack and corner to a ledge, then pull an airy move over the bulge and make your way up to the anchor.

Well the bottom is easy and the middle is fun. Then you get to the top.

Sweet route directly to the right of the Red Dihedral. Standing at the bottom you can see what looks to be holes 3/4s the way up. The Crux is moving through those holes and making a throw off the last one.

A steep slab crux leads to a small ledge rest then up a short dihedral at the top. Two permadraws allows you to work the tricky upper section without the fear of needing to leave your gear. Climb with confidence. Use the big pocket underclings (horse like mouth) to  work your feet up. Reach out left to use laybacks to gain the raps anchors above. Route feed back has included the feeling that the line feels a bit more like a 10 b/c.

A little trickier than it looks, but still a fun little route. Start below the first bolt, right of the route Alpine, and continue straight up to avoid skirting left.

Two routes left of Sweet Crack, follow vertical edges past a steep crux section between bolts 2 and 3, below the small ledge. Then the middle is a fun little ride.  The second crux is near the top on the vertical face with horizontal holds. S & M stands for Steve and Marcus. Steve Martin cleaned the line, which was no small order, then placed the rap anchors so the route could be easily top roped. Thanks for your hard work Steve!

This route is a bit of a conundrum. You might think you're at HCR.  It's a pretty difficult V4 boulder move to get off the ground, but once you're at the 2nd bolt turns into a nice 5.9 with sidepulls, some stemming and nice ledge for a rest before going for the last 15 feet. If you're tall the start might be considerably easier.  Shares anchors with Funky Side Pulls.

Well what can you say. It's short, easy, and a good warm up if you need one. We just added 2 more bolts and gave this route it's own mussy hooks so go ahead and try it again for the first time.

If you're short might be a good idea to stick clip the 2nd bolt.  The bottom is all pretty easy.  Getting to the anchors after clipping the last bolt might be the crux.

Wall: As the first wall bolted at Robinson Bluff, practice rap anchors are provided at the left end of the wall. It's a great area to start and has one of our favorite moderate routes - you guessed it - the Red Dihedral. The Red Dihedral is the Robinson Bluff 5.9 standard. Just right of the Practice Anchors, a range of route difficulties can be used to warm-up, from 5.5 (Alpine) - 5.9 (Red Dihedral), making this wall a popular first stop for many visitors.Routes are roughly 50 ft tall and provide a range from easy through moderate difficulty levels.Ratings: While easier climbs are given a rating number representing the climb to be no harder than the rating represented, routes rated 5.10 and up are given a specific max crux rating. This should help you plan your visit and navigate your way along the bluff while using Mountain Project. Please remember to provide your feedback using your MP App. Star rating and rate difficulty feedback helps the next visitors use the app.Practice Rap Anchors provided at the left end of the wall.
