This was a short drive of just 21.22 meters (69.62 ft) I suspect that the drive algorithms terminated the drive earlier than planned in the soft terrain. Zoom in on the regolith in the wheel tracks, it is bunched up as a result of wheel spin. If one or more of the rover’s wheels spins at different rates it can be detected by the rover’s computers. Set limits are defined at the onset of each drive for the acceptable amount of spin, if the rover reaches those limits the drive is halted and the rover calls home. We currently have to wait about 6 months to read the mission managers reports (in the mission PDS) to see what is reported about this drive, but the images tell a story of wheel slip. There’s a long drive / climb to reach the crest of the crater rim. It’s going to take a lot of drives to reach the rim (slow but sure)

I’ll post a map with contours separately
