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.
The anchors for Tasmania are just out of the pictu...
Description
This is the extension to Johnny Cat. Get a good rest by the chains to Johnny Cat. Then bust some steep liebacking moves to a backstepping stance below a box shaped groove. Jam up this on very small tips plus a key face hold. Interesting footwork here- look for a heel-toe in the box. Finally, jam dwindling tips to the anchor.
Location
Above Johnny Cat
Protection
One bigger cam at the start. One or two one inch after that. Then 3/4 inch and smaller to the chains.
Tasmania is a totally classic route, particularly when coupled with the 4 star Johnny Cat. A great stance at the chains on JC makes combining the two not that big of a deal. This route needs more traffic considering how often JC gets done. It is very different for indian creek, steep with interesting footwork and real sequencing issues. You can still TR both with a 60M rope. Solid 5.12.
