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.
"A long and varied left facing corner. Some loose blocks, but still a good route" - David Bloom
Super long route, but varied enough and with enough good stances to avoid the pump. The loose stuff was not too much of a concern for the climber, but we did have the belayer wear a helmet.
Location
Cat Wall. Super obvious and long left facing corner past Kool Kat
Protection
Bloom recommends (1)0.5, (3)0.75, (2)1.0, (2)1.5, (3)2.0, (1) each 2.5-3.5
Considering the quality of routes on Cat Wall, this is a mediocre route. Just did it today and probably won't remember a thing about it tomorrow. I thought the looseness detracted significantly from the route's quality and enjoyment factor. Sorry.
