Black Diamond athlete Conrad Anker is a master of ice climbing—at the crags and in the mountains. We caught up with him at his home in Bozeman, Montana and went out for a day of swinging tools with him on Black Magic, a classic mixed line in nearby Hyalite Canyon. Conrad overdosed us with caffeine in the pre-dawn hours, entertained us with tales of climbing with his best friend, the late, great Alex Lowe, as we drove up the canyon, and then belted out The Clash's "The Guns Of Brixton" as he burned through a couple laps on the WI4 pitch. It was a great day with a great friend—thanks for the tour, Conrad!
All three of Black Diamond Equipment's Freeride Series boots, the Factor 130, Factor 110 and Shiva, are compatible with Alpine and AT sole blocks. This video runs you through the basic how-to steps to quickly swap out the sole blocks.
Black Diamond athlete Cedar Wright stopped through the BD offices a while back, and, like all of our climbers who visit us, wanted to go down to manufacturing and see how we make carabiners. As an avid videographer, Cedar, of course, had his camera with him and asked us to film him on the tour. When he got back to his home in Boulder, Colorado, he edited together the footage and sent us this video.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
