After recently bottoming out on my old trusty crash pad, which drove my tibia bone into my footbed and wrenched the tendons and the cart that connect the mid toes to the calf muscles, I decided to up-grade. After extensive research on crash pads, chatting with a few folks, and sampling a few different pads, I decided on the Mondo crashpad by Black Diamond. BD has done their homework when it comes to crashpads. BD conducts weight tests on the foams they use to make sure you own a quality product that will save you a trip to the Doc's office. I've taken a couple of tall ones on it and its no problem, very comfortable landings.
Next its a BD Drop Zone. Oh yeah, watch out on windy days carrying this baby...

It’s big and that’s a good thing. Not taking every available precaution is a bad thing.

I have 9 pins and a plate in my right heal and 5 pins, a plate and bone from my hip in my right knee.

Surgery and multiple year recoveries really cuts into your training time. To stay out from under the surgeon’s knife, you gotta be able to hit the pad and you NEVER want to bottom out. Until somebody makes something better, this is the ONLY pad I will ever use. Period.

I bought the Mondo crash pad for my son after his climbing buddy shattered his ankle while bouldering. We tested the pad in Yosemite, and it was fabulous. He remarked that he did not realize how much he was bottoming out on his other crash pad until he landed on the Mondo. If you value your bones, this is the baby for you.

This crash pad is awesome. It’s durable and has plenty of landing surface. It also works well as a bed when camping.
