Passion for People and Wild Places

I first met Craig when he was working with Garrett Kemper in the Black Diamond Warranty Center. He was always incredibly upbeat and engaged with everyone who walked through the door. By strongest memory of Craig was when I mentioned an upcoming ski trip to Alaska with my wife and he was so stoked for us it was as if he too was going. He asked questions, shared ideas, and was truly thrilled someone else was getting out into the mountains. Craig had the most authentic love and passion for both people and wild places. Just being around him, you couldn’t help but absorb some of his enthusiasm for life, and be inevitably in better spirits than before you had crossed paths with him that day.

My heart goes out to Renae, Kaya, and the rest of his family and friends for their loss.
