Description 

This tall, north-facing wall is directly across the canyon from Olive Oil.

Getting There 

Hike toward Juniper Canyon and turn right (west) to enter the narrow canyon leading up to the base of Olive Oil.

As soon as you cross the saddle, turn right and climb up a short distance to a vertical chimney tunnel. Scramble through this. Aquarium and its adjacent routes are directly across the canyon. Alternatively, continue upstream to reach several other routes.
