VIDEO: BD athletes Cedar Wright and Kate Rutherford climbing Ariana (IV 5.12a) on the Diamond of Long's Peak

Black Diamond athletes Cedar Wright and Kate Rutherford teamed up this past summer for a trip to the impressive Diamond face on Long's Peak, in Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park. Situated entirely above 13,000 feet, the Diamond is home to some of the best (and hardest) alpine granite routes in the US, including the striking Ariana (IV 5.12a). Below is a video made by photog John Dickey that captures the splitter climbing, gorgeous alpine scenery and changing weather conditions that encompass a day on the Diamond.
