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 corner and crack system starts that has anchors about 22 meters up. A small but corner and crack system leads to these anchors. Start off on the crack with some wider pieces and continue up physical moves past a deep crux (long arms useful) and up over a small roof to gain narrower jams, nearly perfect hands for the top 1/2. Rap from the fixed anchors.
Location
this climb is located on technicolor wall, more or less on in the SE end. the east Wall is approached from the main road, and the South Wall approached from the small turn off, and this lies between, well left of the climb 'The Up and Up" As you walk South towards the south-facing corner of the East Wall, the corner inverts to concave for a 100 meter span. Within this, there is an inside corner that has anchors about 22 meters up. A small but corner and crack system leads to these anchors. I placed a plaque at the base that simply says "5.10"
