Nice writeup, an interesting read since I've been wanting to make my first trip to the cracks of Indian Creek. You are very fortunate to have such a mentor.
Hi Liba
You might be interested in Mike's musical history if you're not aware of it already. have a look at:
http://themountainworld.blogspot.com/2007/08/help-me-i-think-im-falling.html
Thanks, yes, I know about that website, and also his side of the story. He denies it, but it is again mentioned in the Yosemite in the 60s book.
He is pretty open about it. He has no recording of his own music, which I was interested in.
Thanks, I hope that you will get to go there... really amazing place. Can get a little bit crowded over the weekends, especially in the fall and spring, but it is great to watch other people climbing as well.
Happy climbing!

Re: Fun ReadThank you very much. Yes, Michael C. is impressive, and climbing 5.10s under his guidance seems so easy.

ThanksIC is a magical place, especially in the Falls for the colors and in the Spring while the wildflowers are blooming.
Sarah, if you ever need anyone to give you a tour of the area, drop me a line. I do a lot of day trips and some longer trips to the Creek.
