As well as making some of the best climbing gear on the entire planet Black Diamond are also keen to do their bit in helping to look after it. Their latest ecologically inspired endeavour sees UK born mountain athlete Joe Grant teaming up with film maker Cheyne Lempe to create a visually stunning film that raises awareness about the current issues facing the grand Canyon. Providing a voice to the indigenous population who are gravely concerned about the effect that uranium extraction is having on the Canyon’s watershed and its wider eco-system. Speaking with a unique eloquence and passion for the canyon each of the different tribal spokespeople provide a timely reminder that the significance of this national park extends way beyond providing the ultimate outdoor adventure playground and that the need for action is urgent.
