Climbing and mountain equipment engineered from Salt Lake City.
Black Diamond was formed when employees bought the assets of Chouinard Equipment in 1989. It carried forward climbing hardware expertise and expanded into lights, poles, skis and technical mountain equipment.
Three products that define Black Diamond.
The double-axle climbing cam that became a protection standard.
A compact waterproof light for trail and camp.
A folding pole built for fast mountain travel.
