Description Suggest change

This route is a solo traverse and can be done in either direction, or even better, go one way, then return! It can be a great traverse to do when it is hot outside as it is all in the shade. This is the Parkay Squeeze of Indian Creek.

This is described starting from near Dream a Little Bigger Darlin':

From the chimney entrance to Hall of Mirrors, chimney up as high as you feel like! Traverse until you reach Hall of Mirrors (1/3 of the way along the route), and go around the corner.The ground drops beneath you here, so don't fall. It is like an easier version of the Reed's Pinnacle tunnel-through pitch.

Eventually the chimney squeezes down suddenly from an offset. Chimney upwards until you reach the crescent-shaped gap to slide through. You are now beneath the end of Hip Power.

Chimney over to a corner that turns 90 degrees again, and go around it. If the stacked blocks are still around in this corner, DO NOT TOUCH THEM! They are ready to go. Chimney higher to go around them. Exit via the start to Hip Power, and reverse from there for more fun.

You can shorten the route by walking the bottom of about half of the chimneys, but why would you do that?!

Location Suggest change

This route traverses behind the large detached blocks leaning against Hurt Locker wall. It links Hip Power to Hall of Mirrors in an S-shaped path.
