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 is a striking line on the left side of 4x4 as you're trudging up the approach trail. Located in a lighter colored rock than most of the dark sandstone around it, it is a straight up splitter in a left facing dihedral. It has a sandy short beginning with a great #1 camalot placement at the beginning of the crack. It then goes to great hands (#2 camalots) and gets progressively wider to a sandy sloping ledge just below the anchors
Location
Take the approach trail to the center of 4x4 then walk left along the base about 200ft.
