The BLM office in Monticello has asked the Friends of Indian Creek to remind climbers that there is a 14-day limit on camping on BLM Land. The F.O.I.C. understands that there is a bit of a history of staying in the Creek for far longer, but heavy climber-traffic in the area has made the BLM take notice of this tradition. Be aware that overstaying the 14-day limit makes climbers look as if we feel the rules don't apply to us and thus has an effect on long-term access. Moving your campsite throughout the season, or perhaps finding a site outside the main Indian Creek area, will not only help smooth relations with the BLM, but will also keep you from possibly getting hit with a fine.
This route is on the more north facing wall if you continue right around the corner. Shortly after turning the corner, this line begins off a ledge and gradually steepens to a short wide section and a 3" finish.
In June we found morning shade here. Good warmup route.

Red and gold camalots. The top: one #4 camalot and one #3 friend.
The number of cams you bring should be dependent on how comfortable you are on this size.
