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.
Vague and slightly incorrect rack in the Bloom guide lead me to believe he had not done the route...Also not quite 5.12.
Sure looks cool from the ground and it actually is a good line with nice moves down low but...Heads Up!!
The first 10 or so feet hold the crux section with small pro and committing moves while the upper two thirds is classic finger tip/finger dihedral liebacking. Crispy/fragile edges add to the excitement at the crux start with a good offset brass piece up to red and yellow Micro-Camalot size pro backed up with a #2 Camalot out left. Dicing it out at its best!
