Sponsor Spotlight: Black Diamond
MRA team members are familiar with two types of black diamonds. The first is the ski slope we take on when we’re feeling brave and the second is a gear company that covers the outdoor equipment spectrum. BD equipment can be seen in SAR teams whether it’s packs, gaiters, headlamps, apparel or their venerable line of climbing hardware. BD carabiners are harnesses are a common sight and many climbers have started up a glacier using a raven ice axe. The company quite literally has your equipment needs covered from head to toe, backpack to avalanche beacon.
