CREEK FREAK: INDIAN CREEK CLIMBS BY KARL KELLEY

Indian Creek has solidified itself as the world’s most iconic crack-climbing area. Creek Freak is the next-generation climbing guide—

doubling the amount of previously published routes and unearthing numerous neglected crags. Karl Kelley, arguably the most passionate

Creek devotee, has drawn from decades of experience and near-daily visits to Indian Creek to provide a guide that addresses the needs of

modern Creak Freaks. In what may be the biggest task of all, Kelley exhumed the first-ascent information for the vast majority of climbs.

History and pertinent information abound. The masses have spoken and Creek Freak delivers.
