Some cliffs are occasionally closed due to raptor nesting. 14-day camping limit. MORE INFO >>> Check the Friends of Indian Creek website for up-to-date information, as well as the BLM's Monticello Field Office page. 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. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

I put up this route last September days after Daryn Smith's (Stymingersfink) death. I never knew him away from my computer but he left an impression.

First pitch, 5.9, 130'. It looks crappy but is very solid and a lot more fun than you'd guess by looking at it.

Second Pitch 5.10, 70'. looks 5.12 from the ground and is just good fun. It's actually 5.10. If you've got small fists, the start will feel 5.11.

Location 

The prow where Sacred Cow wall meets the Original Meat Wall. There is a plaque.

Protection 

Hands and fist size gear. A few smaller pieces too.
