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.
BBC from Cleveland is a worthy crack up at the Critic's Choice.
Scramble up 15' of 5.easy choss. Enter a 10' squeeze that protects well with hand sized cams. Step onto the top of the pillar, breathe a second, then enter the thin hands section before switching cracks to the right and going for the anchors.
Location
Critic's choice wall, between critic's choice and second choice. Plaqued.
Protection
Cams, 3-4 each, 1.5 inches to 3.5 inches (green to blue camalots.)
heh. We couldn't remember the name several times when we were hanging out, it was alternatively referred to as the Cleveland Steamer and BBQed Cleveland.
Pretty sandy when we did it, had to trundle the flagstone just before the anchor, that thing was waiting to kill someone.
