5 out of 5 stars Sustained and rad.

Crimp all the way up on neat holds, and look out for the cockleburrs while belaying.

4 out of 5 stars Nice.

Cool holds on some of the better rock on this buttress. Recommended.

3 out of 5 stars Scrappy 5.9

Not a 10b. Some loose rock and other, better climbs very close by make this one kind of missable. Decent warm up, though.

5 out of 5 stars Great but too damn short

Another Indian Creek classic with just enough bolts. I would call it a solid 10b, but not pumpy. Go do it. A rainstorm immediately after clipping the last bolt made the final (slightly) runout slab at the top feel pretty adventurous.

4 out of 5 stars Solid

This was the first route put up at Indian Creek. There are enough bolts, but I sure wouldn't want to skip one. Classic 10a.

4 out of 5 stars Well protected

Another fun limestone route above the Chief. Short and well bolted, feels like 5.8.

4 out of 5 stars Awesome

The book says 10a/b, I'd call it a 10a. Super fun route on cool rock.
