Black Diamond Equipment’s roots lie in the hand-forged climbing hardware of Yvon Chouinard, who started selling his gear from the trunk of his car in Yosemite Valley in 1957. Chouinard’s visionary equipment revolutionized the climbing world by raising performance standards while also leading the sport to new and sustainable ethics. You can now find us at the base of the Wasatch Mountains in Salt Lake City, Utah, where we are immersed in our passion for the outdoors: climbing, skiing and mountain pursuits.
