2nd Meat Wall

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.

Description 

This was once an obscure Indian Creek crag, but has now become quite popular due to an abundance of shady routes that are great for hot weather. Marco's I.C. guide is useful for getting oriented, but there are lots of newer routes, especially around the north side, that are not in his guide.

Getting There 

Heading west on the highway, drive west past Cat Wall, Broken Tooth, and Fin Wall. After a few miles look for a gated dirt road that leads to 2nd Meat, Tenderloins, Original Meat, and Sacred Cow Walls. The road is poor, but my Corolla makes it to the parking area for 2nd Meat (but not Original Meat). These days there is a pretty good trail that deposits you at the base of T-Bones Tonight and Tube Steaks Tomorrow.

Top Sirloin is a very clean left-facing corner of amazing uniformity, plaqued, to the left of Tube Steaks etc. which are at the top of the trail. It's all about thin hands in a corner. My large-handed buddy found the crux to be about 40 feet up in a shallow flare where he found it necessary to pull on a couple of #2 Friends; I was able to free this while placing red camalots (hence the 'optional' #2 F's).A 60m rope was bar...[more]   Browse More Classics in UT
