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.
The Hostess is the much harder option sharing an anchor with the Host. Start in the same corner but traverse out right at the roof doing either a tight squeeze or a wild layback (this crack MIGHT take a very large Big Bro). Once through that nastiness, climb changing corners through a variety of wide sizes eventually tackling a steep fist splitter.
This route can be TR'd after doing the Host. It would be a proud lead.
