HERE AT BLACK DIAMOND IT'S ALL ABOUT CLIMBING AND SKIING. WE SHARE THE SAME EXPERIENCES THAT YOU DO ON ROCK, ICE AND SNOW AND THESE EXPERIENCES PUSH US TO MAKE THE BEST GEAR POSSIBLE FOR OUR WORLDWIDE FAMILY OF CLIMBERS AND SKIERS. WHAT BEGAN WITH A BACKYARD ANVIL AND A HAMMER HAS GROWN INTO A GLOBAL COMPANY WITH OFFICES ON THREE CONTINENTS THAT'S NOT JUST FOR ROCK CLIMBERS, BUT ONE THAT STANDS FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE SPORTS WE LIVE, THEIR VALUES AND GOALS, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. SINCE 1957, OUR INNOVATIVE GEAR DESIGNS HAVE SET THE STANDARDS IN NUMEROUS AREAS. THIS IS PARTLY THE RESULT OF DEDICATION, DESIRE AND DILIGENCE ON THE PART OF AN INCREDIBLE TEAM OF PEOPLE. IT'S ALSO THE RESULT OF EACH OF US BEING CLIMBERS AND SKIERS OURSELVES.
