VIDEO PROFILE: Sam Elias mixed climbing in Colorado

As a part-time Black Diamond ski tech rep and a full-time Black Diamond climbing athlete, Sam Elias may have been a ski racer growing up but now he’s a rock and ice hard charger with numerous 5.14 and M12 redpoints and first ascents to his credit. We sent pro lensman Boone Speed out to Colorado to capture a little slice of Sam’s life and style, as well as some beastly mixed climbing action. Music by: Professor Kliq professorkliq.com
