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.
A very sustained mostly fingers corner. From stemming, to laybacking, to jamming, to chimneying, this climb will make you do it all. First make your way over three almost identical roofs to gain a good rest. Then crank into a sustained crux, stemming when possible to reach a short pod. Finally layback out the nicely exposed corner roof.
Location
Climb starts just right from where the trail meets the wall. It's the obvious left-facing fingers corner.
