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.
Big right-facing corner left of Sorrow. 20 feet of easy scrambling leads to a sandy ledge where the plaque (maybe) resides. Start on a large loose flake and head into a fun corner. Crux felt like small bulge midway which is red Camalots. There is a helpful thin splitter on the left as you near the finish. Last 10 feet is a little sandy.
Location
Around corner to the right as approach trail meets the cliff. Big corner left of obvious splitter Sorrow.
Protection
Golds decreasing to yellow TCUs. Slings for bulge or have your cams walk. Two-chain anchor.
