Fall might mean football season in much of the country, but not so in Indian Creek, Utah, the center of the crack climbing universe, where warm days, cool nights, and flawless Wingate sandstone make for just about the best way to spend October. Sinuhe Xavier was out there a few weeks ago, shooting film alongside veteran still photographer Ace Kvale, and he put together this short piece for Marmot. It has Marmot’s logo at the end, so I suppose you can call it an ad, but you know, it just makes me want grab every #10 cam I can and prove to everyone that I really am the worst crack climber in the world. The worst, but maybe the happiest.
