2 weeks ago I was in Indian Creek, UT. I met up with a few friends at camp '6' for some wholesome climbing fun. I am pretty sure the entire time we didn't leave camp before 11 a.m. which doesn't lend to the greatest light, but hey, if you're tagging along, you take what you can get.
Indian Creek is located in south east UT in the middle of the desert. It is famous for the perfect cracks in the miles upon miles of rock wall, my 'models' were all about getting on tough climbs.
Climbing photography can be a bit of a head trip. First, you have to 'jumar' a fixed rope, clip your bag to the system and shoot away. The scare for me is potentially dropping an expensive lens/camera body. I suppose to get a decent shot you have to take a risk. Luckily, I didn't drop anything this day or the entire trip for that matter.
For this particular shot, I was hanging at about 90 feet shooting down on Leif. Snapped a bunch of frames, then rappelled off the climb. I have a bunch more, and some of my other Indian Creek work can be seen here.
