Black Diamond Photographer Christian Adam Tests the Distance 1500 Headlamp on the WURL

 

At Black Diamond, we’re a company of climbers, skiers, boarders, and runners. This means we often test the gear we make on our own adventures in the mountains. When it was time to pit the Distance 1500 against a real objective, we kindly asked our own BD photographer Christian Adam to put down his camera and lace up for the Wasatch Ultimate Ridge Link-Up. Known as the WURL, this technical skyline run circles Little Cottonwood Canyon, tagging summit after summit while racking up the vertical gain. To finish in 24 hours, Christian had to start just after midnight, where he’d need to scramble peaks like Mount Superior all by the light of the Distance 1500. Go on the ride with Christian in this video captured by BD employees and local filmmaker Gaz Leah.
