Your Mama 

Varied climbing with different widths and movement. Twin crack start. I took the right wide hands crack, the others tool the left corner. Can stem both cracks up to the chimney box. It's not over there though!

If I remember correctly, the plaque at the bottom calls this climb "Your Mother 5.10+"

The Name of this route is I think based on an etched rock at the base: Your Mama. Stellar Climb

Fantastic climb that is of a much different character than most IC cracks. Bring a couple extra runners.

You know I did Your Mama!

I think this was labeled 'wheres cruthers' in my book. Didnt see a plaque. Twin crack start with ring locks on the left and hands/fists on the right up to an all day rest pod. Varied climbing past that through a 'roofish type thing' to another no hands rest if you need it. some more fun moves gets you to the top! super awesome!

Fun route, not just a walk-the-cams splitter. My friends and I replaced one of the bolts and replaced webbing with chains in Sept. '07. There was a previously chopped anchor about 30' up on the right wall, super lame to have such a low anchor which avoids the interesting climbing. I placed a large stopper or two on this route, there are some funky double-cracks-meeting-can't-place-cams spots.

To PhilT, "Where's Caruthers" is between this and scarface...

There's many options for protection on this route... if taking the left crack at the base, 0.75 camalots wil get you to the first pod. If taking the right side, start with a 0.75 or 1, then some 2's and 3's depending on how much gear you want. For the rest of the route, toss in some big gear here and there, or just use red camalots in the crack that runs up the back of the route (with some runners)... great route, with fun moves and variation.

For the sake of keeping the record straight, Jay, I have to assert that the correct route is shown in the photo. I climbed it yesterday and probably spent more time there than you or Mary would for your warm-up. It was good to see you two and the baby this weekend!

The photo is correct for this route. Very fun, varied un-indian-creek climbing. Bring plenty of number 1s and 2s for deep in the crack, and the right starting crack. A few 3s are also useful if starting on the right.

I believe the route name "Your Mama," was added at a later date. It seems this route was mistakenly named with a plaque as Desert Sunset in the past, and it is called Unnamed in the Bloom book. Perhaps the name Your Mama was added by somebody who felt the route needed a name at the bottom?

Does anybody know for sure? Somebody who actually climbed at Indian Creek before the book came out?

joel, i've noticed this trend occuring lately. unnamed routes are suddenly sprouting names and plaques. not really sure what to make of it. part of me dislikes it, but part of me finds it handy to have a name to refer to the route by when describing it to somebody.

hope all is well.
