Black Diamond

We are an employee-owned company made up of climbers and backcountry skiers who are committed to designing and producing the best equipment imaginable. Input into our design process comes from all corners of the world—the gear you use is the result of ideas, experiences and inspiration from a global family of climbers and skiers we trust. Because we're located at the base of the Wasatch Mountains in Utah, in the same day we can test an ice tool concept on the Scruffy Band, ride tele prototypes in the Cottonwood Canyons, and torque a shoe design on granite. The bottom line? Black Diamond gear is envisioned, designed, and manufactured by climbers and skiers with a mission—to make the best climbing and backcountry ski gear on the planet.

Contributed many hours in helping to organize the 2004 US Nationals Paragliding Competition. Thanks Bill Belcourt.

Donated head lamps and an assorted variety of gloves.
