Bill Crouse works for Black Diamond doing international sales.
Bill spends a lot of time in the thin air – on planes and with his climbing as well.

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, SLC and then at the Lower Saddle on the Grand Teton all in the span of 3 weeks.
Bill on Elbrus - his 6th Summit last week
In the last three days, I’ve gotten a couple of pics from Bill’s phone. Summit of Elbrus with BD’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.
