— Louis L'Amour
He who stays behind gets left behind
In 2012, filmmaker and photographer Ben Ditto, and professional climber Mason Earle equipped an immaculate line in Tuolumne’s high country. But their attempts to free the route were thwarted when Mason’s life changed drastically. With the help of Connor Herson, Ditto and Mason found a way to keep the dream alive.
From gym to crag, mountain trails to alpine peaks and everything in between, the BD Athlete Team pushes the limits of what's possible with their mind, body and soul.
