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.
A thin move gains a sustained offset finger crack. A burly move or two in a changing corner leads to slightly easier ground in a right-facing corner. At the base of a bolted offwidth, a no hands rest appears to allow you to catch your breath. Four bolts up the "monster offwidth" size crack lead to fun stemming moves out a small rest. Finish with pumpy thin hands in a right-facing corner.
Location
This is several hundred yards right of where the trail comes up. It's the next crack right from Hydraulic Pump. Next two it in the corner, and sharing anchors, is a cool offwidth called Monster Truck.
Protection
A couple of TCUs for the start, several 1 and 1.5 friends, draws, 1 camalots or 2.5 friends for the top.
