Black Diamond Equipment
What began with a backyard anvil and a hammer has grown into a global company with offices on two continents that's not just for rock climbers, but one that stands for the spirit of the sports we live, their values and goals, past, present and future. Since 1957, our innovative gear designs have set the standards in numerous areas. This is partly the result of dedication, desire and diligence on the part of an incredible team of people. It's also the result of each of us being climbers and skiers ourselves. We're a company of users—it's who we are. We're the greatest dreamers about what could be, and the harshest of critics about what exists and because of this—the creation of Black Diamond is a process which will never end. The company today is more committed than ever, thanks to the many people both here in the U.S. and at Black Diamond Europe whose limitless energy and hands-on involvement have created a promising future for all climbers and skiers worldwide.

Point 6 Socks
"the best wool socks ever"

a long, long time ago in the 80's...

There was Peter and Patty, two snow crazy merino wool converts from Vermont. They roamed the woolderness in their beat-up old van, the first to introduce merino virgins to the joy of socks. spreading the wool.They cured chief stinkfoot and crazy blister, and soon had so many converts that Peter and Patty started the best darn merino sock empire in the U.S. weaving their names into sock folk legend.But Peter and Patty yearned for the road and their feet began to itch, which was strange because merino is itch-free.So now they roll with the nomadic point6 tribe. this tribe has pimped out some sweet vans, put in some banging sound sytems and now spread the wool asking people to have socks with them.
Because once you've experienced point6, your socks life will never be the same againwww.point6.com

Adventure Medical Kits
is the official supplier of SWS Mountain Guides Medical kits.
If you were creating wilderness medical kits, who would you ask for advice? Your family doctor? An emergency room doctor? It's a start, but outdoor medicine goes beyond blisters and bandaids. You could be face-to-face with high altitude illness, a dislocated shoulder, or a large laceration; and be two days away from professional medical care. Wouldn't you feel more comfortable with the medical wisdom of an emergency department doctor who climbs, treks,
kayaks, dives, and does the same things that you do?
