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 route is found at the top of the trail when you first arrive at the wall. Route starts on right side of block (loose) and begins with a short section of offwidth. Exit the offwidth with fingers in a right facing corner, make an corner switch, and continue up a left facing off-fingers corner (crux) to the anchor. The new guide book says this route is runout and that you'll need lowe balls. This description is incorrect, the route is well protected.
