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.
Unknown 5.10-, Tony Bubb is in the shaded chimney....
Description
A better climb than it appears. Long legs are useful to rest in a seated position in the initial stem-box. Once in the chimney, protected from any heat of the sun, a stem and finger flake system rides easier territory to the top, owing to the many available footholds.
Location
Around a ways on the South Face of Technicolor near the route listed as 'Unnamed 5.10 (left)' This route is Just to the east, on the opposite side of a large, white-capped pillar.
Protection
A few smaller cams and a few fist-sized pieces. The Bloom book calls for stoppers (the top is a finger flake) but small cams are just fine.
