Stand start the boulder at the center of the face on two good, four finger pockets in the crack. With good foot holds, make a move up and right to a good crimp rail. Step the feet up, and then fire your left hand for the lip. Match your right hand, and then mantel it out. This is a great warm-up. It was first ascended in eight degrees below zero with the wind chill!

Sit start at the left of the cave beneath the long rail feature. Your right hand will be on a small crimp and your left on the bottom of the one pad rail feature. Make a cruxy move to get your right hand onto the rail, and then continue upwards to the big, diagonal, jug rail. Here the difficulty tapers off as you pop up to a good hold on the arete and then surf it to final lip and an easy mantel.

Stand or sit start towards the right side of the face on the lower of two parallel cracks, on mini-crimps/pockets. I had my left hand on a three finger, half pad pocket and my right hand on a two finger, third pad abomination. Rock onto your right foot, and reach up to hit a good crimp rail. Don't let your feet slip as you step up, and then go for the lip to top out.

The Oasis has a South-facing, vertical face looking towards a beautiful, small pond. Towards the left of the face is a small overhung section. There are about six unique routes on the face.This is a good one to hit if there has been recent rain, because it gets a lot of sun and tends to dry rather quickly.
