BD team out in the Basel Jura
The first beautiful fall days have enticed us outside on a jaunt to the Gempen together after work. The area we selected is just a few minutes by car from our office door and lies tempting in the evening sun. The Gempen is in our back yard, it's the highest bit of ground around, it's a playground for mountain bikers, hikers and climbers too. Like is was made for us, there is a wonderful southwest facing cliff at the top of the hill. It's called Schartenfluh, „Gämpe" in Basel German. It's built ideally for office stressed climbers who can barely sit still and like to blow off steam on the vertical after calling it a day at the office.

Winger for the Weekend #123

Botched that 80-foot cliff drop? No big deal. At the very... [READ MORE]

Winger for the Weekend #121
Some people have a lot of extra time on their hands. Take, for instance, the guy who created Winger for the Weekend #121. We're guessing it took a solid 40-hour work week to comb through his extensive DVD collection looking for just the right tidbits to fit into this mashup masterpiece. Unemployment can be a beautiful thing. Have a great... [READ MORE]

EMPLOYEE FAVORITES: Susannah Pratt, NW Couloir of the Pfeifferhorn, UT
Here at Black Diamond, the inspiration to innovate is driven from within. When we're not at the office, our dedicated crew of employees is out cranking at the crags, putting in miles on the trails and questing around the mountains in search of untracked descents.

Winger for the Weekend #120
Maybe it's a developing trend that obscure foreign game shows provide excellent Winger fodder, but we can't seem to resist. Winger for the Weekend #120 features the fiercely competitive sport of headbanging watermelon smashing, which we hear is gaining more mainstream traction thanks to a celebrity endorsement from Gallagher . The only... [READ MORE]
