There was a 3 meter drive on 1253, the rear NavCam after that drive showed lots of wheel-slip in the soft regolith. We can interpret the wheel tracks in this 1254 post drive NavCam (6 tiles), it indicates the rover reversed away from the 1253 waypoint and drove onto this rocky region. I estimate the point-to-point distance between the waypoints is less than 20 meters. The rocky terrain should provide much better traction for the climb compared with the soft sandy regolith that appears to have terminated the 1253 drive early. As a bonus the new location also presents a nice robotic arm workspace, if they decide to check out the rocks just in front of the rover before the next drive.
