Black Diamond is all about climbing and skiing. The makers of Black Diamond equipment share the same experiences that you do, on rock, ice, and snow, and those experiences push them to make the best possible gear.

What began with a backyard anvil and hammer has grown into a global company with offices on three continents. No matter where they call from, they're driven to satisfy rock climbers and to stand for the spirit of the sports they pursue, guided by their values and goals.

Since 1957, Black Diamond's innovative gear designs have set the standards in many areas, the result of dedication, desire, and diligence on the part of an incredible team. It's also the result of each team member being a climber and skier.
