over 19,000 climbing areas free to the global climbing community
Black
Diamond Equipment®, a global innovator in climbing, skiing, mountain
sports equipment and apparel, announces the launch of their partnership
with Mountain Project, the definitive online resource for the rock climbing and
mountaineering communities.
Beginning today, Black Diamond Equipment and
Mountain Project will take Mountain Project’s current paid mobile application
and make it free to the climbing community.
“Our partnership with
Mountain Project represents an opportunity for Black Diamond to give back to
the global climbing community,” explains Niclas Bornling, vice president of marketing.
“Mountain Project is an indispensible tool for the modern climber, and Black
Diamond’s partnership allows us to give our core users a valuable resource
wherever they are climbing.”
Mountain Project is the most
comprehensive online climbing guide to ever exist, featuring route beta for
over 112,000 climbing routes at over 19,000 climbing areas worldwide. The mobile
application allows users to download route information (location, description,
images and rating) on their devices and access it anytime without a cell
signal. Mountain Project features over 304,000 unique users per month and
reaches nearly 2,500,000 climbers per year.
“As a programmer and a climber, building Mountain Project has been the
definition of a labor of love,” says Nick Wilder, founder of Mountain Project.
“Every time I climb somewhere new, I come home filled with ideas to make MP
more useful. It’s awesome to see the same passion at Black Diamond—the
employees are climbers and skiers who are constantly re-designing,
re-engineering and re-building products to make them better. This partnership
is a merging of best-in-class product and technology with a common goal: to support
this steadfast community of climbers and alpinists for years to come.”
