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.
Somewhat new route just right of unnamed 5.10 on left side of cat wall near Cat Walk. I found a name plaque with rating, so thought I would add it here. Nice and long pitch with ample stemming rest but loose rock. Lower section is the technical crux, and then the last bit is a little scary with options of going left or right to the chains. Note: A 70 meter rope will get you almost to the ground, so beware of lowering off the end of your rope!

I think I used my full rack for this pitch. Small finger size pieces for down low, the technical crux. Number 2's for the upper section
