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 great route and a good lead for someone just getting into 5.12 at the Creek. The finger crack is sustained but there are good finger locks all the way to the top.
Location
This route is located to the right of "Hot Fun Sunday". Just look for the obvious finger crack that starts from a large ledge.
Protection
Mostly .5 Camalots but a few smaller pieces are needed also
This is a rare IC fingercrack that actually has good feet. Never felt like I was cranking on fingerlocks too hard since the feet kept weight off my fingers. Didn't feel 5.12 until the obvious and exciting crux high up.
