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.
Climb the right-facing corner up through a thin section protected by two bolts then out a roof to the left and finish up the varied crack to the anchor.
Very nice line with a sequential crux. I would suggest a little different gear: 3 0.75 Camalots, 1 0.5 Camalot, 1 #3 Camalot, 1 0.4 Camalot, two draws for the two bolts, and a #2 or #1 camalot for the roof slot (either will work).

I think this route is called "Cold Corner" 5.11c
Very fun, one of the best routes at the wall, and not your typical IC repetition.
