Black Diamond Presents: Cracked Out-Chris Burkard’s Journey to Climb the Yosemite Offwidth Circuit

  • Unbeknownst to his millions of fans, BD Ambassador Chris Burkard-the prolific adventure photographer and filmmaker-has a crack addiction. To make matters worse (at least for his knees and elbows), Burkard’s obsession is not your standard affair. Oh no. He’s into the darkest, gnarliest, most destructive type of crack there is … the infamous offwidth. In this film, Burkard, armed with a rope, rack and the shirt on his back, explains why climbing offwidths is the closest you’ll ever get to “making love” with the stone while facing off with Yosemite’s famed Hardman Offwidth Circuit.

      I think its funny how there are so many close up shots of him wearing BD Aspects, but when he tops out on twilight zone he's wearing TC Pros...

    Best moment is 5:51 "when all of our actions are shared and commented and liked, it's cool to have some aspect that's secretive." ANDDDDDD then BD puts it on UA-cam to be shared, commented and liked (for secrecy sake).

    His helmet getting stuck in the tree when he hucked it off made me laugh. Like, now not only are you suffering your face off in this crack but once you get down you have to chuck your tape roll at your helmet to get it back. Just more suffering.

    When Pratt did it, it wasn't "super secure". WIth wide cams, what used to involve throwing up and whatever else, also was extremely difficult to protect.

Got to say for me climbing is all about f**king of the rest of the world, don't have one pic of me climbing outside, as even mobile phones are there just in case of an emergency. Might have to get a pic in there sometime just to show the kids in the Future.
