Black Diamond  Circuit Crash Pad

Perfect pad for someone just getting into bouldering, it’s a little cheaper price wise and perfect for lowball bouldering. It also makes a great seat when you’re taking a break or getting ready!

Great pad, could be bigger, but definitely worth the price. I've been bouldering on my own for a month with it, and it does all of the things that you'd imagine a stationary, inanimate object could do! Lol works fine its just a pad it cant really get any better. Takes a beating, gets dirty and still remains plush yet firm.

Bought this crash pad in hot pink. It's light enough (like carrying a day pack) and won't make your back ache after some time hiking with it. The belt hook system this pad has makes it easy to fold it up and get going without any hassle. I'm looking forward to spending more time to see how this crash pad holds up over time.

Most of the time, I find myself going solo into the woods, scouting out new boulders, and the Circuit Pad is perfect for the job. The Circuit Pad is small enough that I can sneak through the brambles to the spot. As it opens to an area rough 3 feet by 4 feet wide, it's also large enough for routes that lead out to the side. The 4-inch thickness of the pad all but eliminates the threat of random upturned rocks, slightly sloped terrain, and the fear of occasionally landing flat on my back. All in all, I feel confident to push myself to go higher, and when I'm done, throw it in my car's trunk with space to spare. I give this pad 5 flappers out of 5.

My husband and I each have a crash pad, and one of them is this one. We don't climb much that is super difficult or high up, but we are trying to get more into outdoor bouldering and having this plus a thicker pad to set up is SO much nicer and gives us a lot of peace of mind! We can cover up a large area in the landing zone, and have one there and one covering smaller rocks commonly around the area to protect our heads better in the event of a fall. We really haven't fallen on them MUCH but we've been well protected and lived to climb another day when we have! Thanks for the peace of mind and added security, we're happy to have that!

I have taken this crash pad out on a few outings and it does the job just fine. This pad is a bit stiff, plenty good for taking falls but not comfortable enough to sleep on. There are more expensive pads that are a bit softer and also have more flexibility, allowing for the crash pad to wrap over obstacles on the ground like a protruding rock or root. Shoulder straps are comfortable to hike with and the pad is light enough to not weigh you down when getting where you need to go. Fit in my sedan trunk as well, which is a nice plus. If you're looking for a budget friendly crash pad, this is the one.

This is great crash pad! Not the absolute highest level of protection you could get, but awesome value for the price. I use it mostly for my kids, who don't need as much cush, or combine it with one or two others when bouldering with friends.

My first year of bouldering was with a Metolius pad, however I found I needed a second as I became more bold in my climb. The bright colors is a big source of excitement with my friends and among other climbers who I run into. I like how it can be attached to other BD crash pads if I ever need to borrow a friends, however the small and functionally insignificant area I’ll prefer a Metolius pad is in gear storage. All that being said, keeps me safe and is a wouldnt trade it in for anything.

Perfect crash pad for casual bouldering and crag lounging. It’s very light and compact, but still thick enough to provide a soft landing. Best thing about this pad is it’s rad color!!

I have no complaints. Smaller and lighter than others which is what I was looking for. Love using it.
