We did a route at Indian Creek not long ago but its not in any guide. Heres a description:

Corner crack, (left side of adetached pinnacle, wide at first then hand size for approx 60' to sling lower off. A couple of hundred yards before Split Pinnacle, just down from Friction Slab. Its about 2 miles down from Newspaper Rock, 100yards past (North) of mile marker 6.

Any ideas as its not in the guide?
Cheers

How much (roughly) would a 2 week trip from the UK to indian creek cost? (I'm perfectly happy to slum it, camping or whatever)

That place looks amazing!!!

you'll need a car, but the camping is free.

£250-500 each for air fares to somewhere like Denver or Salt Lake City. Maybe £200-300 for a rental car for two weeks. Book the car from the UK through a discounter like Carbookers. Camping is free at Indian Creek. Buy food at supermarkets in Moab on the drive there - not expensive.

We went for 2 weeks and got a cheap flight to Vegas, although Denver is probably as close. Think it was £280 from Heathrow to Vegas.
We got a hire car via the carhire3000 website and that was £266. Plus we got a free upgrade to a PT Cruiser. Felt like pimp daddy driving round in that.
Camping in Indian Creek is free and Moab is just 45 minutes up the road with all the facilities / climbing shops / diners you could ever need.
Only thing is if your climbing in the creek, you need lots of the same size cams.
Also check out Wall Street in Moab. Its roadside climbing and has some really cool stuff.
Hope this helps.

I checked that database thanks but it doesnt seem to be in there. Its not even in the Indian Creek guide although its a really nice route, and obviously established as it has the lower off slings at the top.
The actual route is roadside and a couple of hundred yards south (towards Newspaper Rock) of Split Pinnacle (5.9).
I guess a local to Indian Creek may know what it is.
Cheers
