BLACK DIAMOND

Black Diamond was born from Chouinard Equipment and was a natural continuation of the passion and ethos that Yvon Chouinard and his friends started in 1965. Peter Metcalf, Maria Cranor and the employees of Chouinard Equipment took over in 1989, changed the name to Black Diamond and moved to Salt Lake City, to be at the base of the Wasatch mountains.

For those seeking the best in safety, performance, and durability, Black Diamond delivers. Their climbing harnesses, backpacks, headlamps, and more are designed to withstand the challenges Rope access techs, tower climbers, telecom technicians, and wind energy workers face every day.
