Luxury liner
Chris Alstrin (2008)
In 1976, Indian Creek was a little-known, dried-up, ancient riverbed in southeastern Utah. But in that year the impossible became the possible: Earl Wiggins climbed 'Supercrack', a 300-foot vertical sandstone fracture, from the ground up. Indian Creek is now considered one of the finest international climbing destinations in the world. 'Luxury Liner' is the story of a bold man behind an unthinkable idea. It pairs historical footage of the first ascent of 'Supercrack' with recent interviews that reminisce on an earlier time, when climbing necessitated fearlessness, confidence, finesse and humility.- 2008
