Black Diamond Distance FLZ Trekking Poles

Black Diamond is a premier brand in the climbing and mountain sports industry, with roots tracing back to late 1950s California and the legendary climber Yvon Chouinard. The brand evolved from Chouinard Equipment into Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd. in 1989 after an employee buyout, eventually relocating to Salt Lake City, Utah, to be closer to the mountainous terrain its products are designed for.

Today, Black Diamond is a global leader in high-performance equipment for climbing, skiing, and mountain sports. While the brand maintains a significant research and development presence in the United States, its manufacturing is distributed globally, and its ownership has transitioned to a publicly traded holding company, Clarus Corporation, which manages a portfolio of outdoor and adventure brands.
