Yvon Chouinard was active in the world's big walls in the 1960s. He produced and sold climbing gear such as pitons with his own hands, and gained support from climbers. In 1971, the Hexcentric was released. We have been leading the trend of clean climbing that leaves as little pitons as possible on rocks.
Black Diamond was established in 1989 as a manufacturer for climbers by climbers, succeeding Chouinard Equipment, which was founded by Mr. Chouinard's policy of making reliable tools is faithfully inherited, always aiming to develop the highest quality hard gear.
Currently, in addition to climbing gear, we have developed high-quality and highly reliable gear that can be used hard for various activities in the great outdoors, such as backcountry skiing and trekking. Its users are now showing a worldwide spread such as Asia and Europe.
