A couple of friends and myself are thinking about going to Indian creek/surrounding areas for a couple of days or moreat the end of feb. Is it too cold to climb right now? What are the ratings like there. i can lead 5.10, and am willing to try harder if i have too. I've climbed in Yosemite,eldo,lumpy,the needles and other places.for me if the locks/jams are good i feel pretty good.

all information is appreciated thanx jon

The desert is about ADVENTURE, you really don't need any info to have a good time in Indian Creek, look up and if it's intriguing... Do It! The only beta you need is how to get there, then it's pretty easy to figure out. Oh yeah, and avoid the areas that have lots of cars parked beneath them. Ratings are particularly easy. Bring lots of cams, beer and whiskey and everything will work out just fine. February can be very cold and windy. Have fun

Bring lots of the same sized cams. Borrow them if you have to.

You will pretty much find classic .10s at any Indian Creek crag. The lines will often look easier than they actually are. Be prepared for long, cold nights (this is where the whiskey comes in). Essentially, pick a line and go for it. Some of my best climbing days were the months I spent wondering around the crags of the creek, just looking and climbing whatever...

I just spent about 6 days in Indian Creek a week ago. Yes, it's cold out there this time of year after the sun goes down. However, even on the mornings when we awoke to temps in the mid-teens one can climb by around 10am in the sun with a t-shirt on. Cat Wall, Battle of the Bulge, Broken Tooth, Supercrack Buttress are all excellent winter areas when sunny.

Oh, take lots of cams!

Get down there and crank!

i think i'll be down there Feb. 20-24 and looking for partners. PM me and we can meet up.

I dont think illbe there until probably the 28th, if any one wants to join us that would be great,for the gear and the company.
Oh, and ill make sure not to forget the beer and whiskey!!!
thanks for the info keep it comin'!

If you are going to the creek, watch out for those pesky splitter camps, they can by viscious and very territorial. You'll be able to spot them with their 70M ropes, generators, and sick climbers firing routes to toprope them into oblivion! Just kidding! The creek is awesome anywhere you climb-the more remote, the more rewarding. Oh, and P.S., leave the tape at home, it's more natural.

Count me in on being down there for the 24th and 25th. Driving a White Labaron.

Will bring my IC rack and other goodies.

Hope to see y'all down there.
