Black Diamond® employees share the same experiences that you do on rock, ice, and snow. These experiences push them to make the best gear possible for a world full of climbers and skiers.  

What began with a backyard anvil and a hammer in 1957 has grown into a global company with offices on three continents. It's not a company just for rock climbers either. It's a company that stands for the spirit of sports, their values, and their goals - past, present, and future.  

Black Diamond is a company of users. A company of dreamers. A company made of the harshest of critics. Because of this, the creation of Black Diamond Equipment is a process which will never end. Company employees today are more committed than ever, providing limitless energy and hands-on involvement, helping to create a promising future for climbers and skiers worldwide.
