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 shorty is cool. The OW is not bad at all, as there are edges all the way up the inside. Plug a good 3.5 Camalot (or new 4) where the OW pinches off, step up, drop a small nut into the bottom of the lone finger lock just above, and commit to some thought-provoking, counter-pressure moves to gain the next features, where you can drop in another small nut. A #00 (silver) and #1 Metolious cam (blue) protect you for the last few lieback moves.
