What began with a few climbers pounding out pitons in a small machine shop in southern California has grown into a global entity with BD-owned operations on three continents (North America, Europe and Asia) and distributors in over 20 countries. We know that there are people like us, passionate about backcountry skiing and climbing, located all over the world. Since we can't have an office in every country, we find the best international partners who make sure that no matter where you live you’ll have access to our innovative products. These distributors are an extension of Black Diamond, dedicated to the sports we serve, committed to supporting their local climbing and skiing communities and generous in their efforts to champion the access to and preservation of their mountain, crag and canyon landscapes.

So whether you’re gym climbing at Camp 5 in a mall in Malaysia, battling fierce conditions on Fitzroy in Patagonia, or backcountry skiing on Hakkoda-san in Japan, we are all connected by the sports we love and that have defined our lives.
