The top US hardware company has been presented with an award for helping to preserve climbing access and maintain the environment in the States
American climbing hardware and outdoor equipment firm Black Diamond has won an annual award presented to 'outstanding individuals or organizations that demonstrate remarkable leadership and commitment to the cause of preserving climbing access and the climbing environment'.
Before you go all cynical, this is the company that at one point advised its consumers not to buy its own anodised hardware because of ecological misgivings over the processes used. It's also the sister outfit to clothing company Patagonia which is well known for giving a significant slice of its profits to ecological causes.
