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.

Description
A beautiful corner crack starting with kneejams and handstacks narrowing to off fists before moving left out a roof with rattly fists/lieback. Then climb up a continuously narrowing crack past a good no hands rest as the crack gets smaller, shrinking to fingers and mad stemming/liebacking before clipping the high quality bolted anchor.

First Ascent is by Alf Randell. Thankyou to wormus and Jake and Paul and Emily and others for help on the effort. The route stoutly resisted a second ascent. Many contestants had trouble with the knee sized crack or the roof. Finally, Juan and Chrystal sent it as a warm up for Rainbow [which is just to the left].
