BD Athlete Will Gadd has been putting Black Diamond gear to the test for over 20 years. He was an early proponent of our revolutionary carbon fiber ice tools\u2014now known as the Cobra\u2014and has been questing to the top of ice formations around the world with prototype ice gear ever since. From climbing Niagara Falls with prototype ice pitons, to going big in Greenland with extra-long special-made ice screws, Gadd is always willing to put it all on the line for the sake of adventure \u2026 and invaluable feedback to the designers and engineers here at BD. Recently, his latest hare-brained idea involved multiple innovations\u2014as well as his own Canadian ingenuity\u2014and was captured in this film. Check out Gadd\u2019s latest gear testing exploits as he takes the formidable spray ice of Helmcken Falls \u2026 with natural gear.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
