“Bouldering is failing, over and over. The pad is your lifeline.”
BD Athlete Carlo Traversi knows a thing or two about the importance of a crash pad. From Yosemite to Switzerland and beyond, Carlo has spent years scouring the forests and alpine in search of untouched boulders. A first ascensionist to the core, Carlo isn’t afraid to hike miles into the mountains for his next first ascent.
And that’s exactly why he loves the new Black Diamond Erratic Pad.
The all-new Erratic Crash Pad is an ultralight, yet highly durable pad designed to access those far-flung backcountry blocs. Featuring a water-resistant face fabric, a premium foam layup, and a padded, adjustable backpack carry system for the approach, the Erratic is exactly what Carlo has always dreamed of. Or as he puts it, the Erratic is “built for the modern-day boulderer."
