Bill’s Phone
Posted on Friday, July 17th, 2009
Bill Crouse works for Black Diamond doing international sales.
Bill spends a lot of time in the thin air: sitting on planes, climbing on mountains.

Bill rarely knows what time zone he is in – but still manages to sneak in quick mountain missions in between trips to Asia, Russia, Oz and locally.
Last summer, I saw Bill in Switzerland, Germany, Salt Lake City and then at the Lower Saddle on the Grand Teton all in the span of three weeks.

In the last three days, I’ve gotten a couple of pics from Bill’s phone.
Summit of Elbrus with Black Diamond’s CEO Peter Metcalf, Kolin Powlick, Ryan Gellert and BD’s Russian distributor Oleg Banar and at the Freidrichshafen OutDoor Show checking in on the new Award Winning Contact crampon.

Life is tough for Bill’s phone.
Whew, at the start of that post I had an scary feeling that that this was not going to have a happy ending…glad that it did!
