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.
Climb up a hollow-sounding flake then up through a short right-facing corner to a tight hands roof. Pull the roof and climb through a tight slot with thin hand jams in the back. Finish up with splitter tight hands.
Location
Route starts more or less in the middle of the wall. It is to the right of Jewel of Denial and to the left of Brother From Another Planet. The pod half way up is distinctive.
This route was excellent. Great moves through a roof into a strenuous pod and finishing up cool thinhands splitter. Salmon Run was the name on the plaque at the base. Mid 5.11. 3.5 stars.
