For the same all-around performance as the Circuit Pad but with a larger footprint, we haul out its big brother: Black Diamond's Circuit Z Crash Pad. The tri-fold design and padded harness simplify the carry and lay flat once we've reached the pebble of the day, while the PE-EVA foam construction lightens the load and softens our catch. If highballs or traverses are on the menu, the integrated multi-pad carry system makes it easier to haul out more, and the square corners minimize holes in the landing zone.
