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.
Above the squeeze crux on the F.A. of 'Decreation'
Description
The route goes from a 24" crack down to 1/4" at the top. All sizes covered from squeeze to stacks down to tight fingers up high. The fingers is the crux, although exiting the squeeze is also hard.
Location
a few systems right of 'pregnant woman grazing' and just left of 'Birth'
Protection
green alien through blue big bro. fixed pin protecting the exit from the squeeze. clip and lower up top.
The fixed pin was installed after two lead attempts with out it....
The gear is pretty much non-existent due to the flairing nature of the crack. A ground fall would pretty much be guaranteed if one botched the transition from the squeeze with out the pin.
