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.
Great route. This route is many hundred yards right of scarface and about 200 feet right of Wavy Gravy. Starts with a perfect hands roof crack which widens just above the lip to wide hands. Pulling the lip is the crux. After that its a 5.10 thin hands corner to the top.
[The roof is about twenty feet long and 4 feet deep. You can't miss the fist sized crack that is the start of Twitch.]
This is one of my favorite routes at indian creek. Unlike a lot of the other roof routes at the creek, the roof comes right at the beginning and it is perfect hands. After the roof comes a great(fun not huge) dihedral to the anchors. Definately get on this climb if you get the chance. However, you must walk pretty damn far to get to it so be prepared and keep walking, you'll know it when you see it.
I agree Andy. What a line. I have never even checked it out as I walked by to go to routes farther right like Big Guy or Wavy Gravy. Friggin awesome line.

Fantastic route well worth the walk down the right side of the crag. In a place with lots and lots of corners, this one stands out. Great roof pull.
