The drive took the rover over exposed bedrock, this greatly improves traction on the slopes of the crater rim. The rover dropped downslope 2.5 meters (8.1 feet) during the drive, and has joined one of the alternate notional paths that will take it out of the crater, and could see it have an easier climb to reach the next science waypoint. The view in this 4-tile NavCam is centered on the East, the large hill is obscuring the view towards the helicopter, Ingenuity is ~1420 meters (4856 ft) due east of the rover's location at site 59.1204.
