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 climb is located on the far left (east facing) side of the 4 X 4 Wall. Bring plenty of gear for the finger stacks/thin hands start (crux) and end it all with a little bit of desert face climbing. Personally, I would call it an 11, but I tend to get my ass handed to me in a paper bag on steep, thin-hands cracks.
Protection
Bring your regular ol' Indian Creek rack along, making sure you have several in the .5 to 1 camalot size.
