SUSTAINABILITY
Black Diamond’s ethos is rooted in the idea that the style in which goals are accomplished is as important as achieving them at all, and this applies as much to their business as it does to their outdoor pursuits. That’s why Black Diamond has paired an innovative approach to building equipment with a unique approach to running a company.
HISTORY
What began as Chouinard Equipment with a backyard anvil and a hammer has now grown into a global company with offices on three continents. Black Diamond is a company that's not just for rock climbers and skiers, but one that stands for the spirit of the sports we live. Since 1957, their innovative gear designs have set the standard in numerous areas.
Black Diamond Eco Chalk
ECO Gold is made from pure magnesium carbonate, which is the by-product of the desalination process, as opposed to being mined from the earth like typical climbing chalk, making it purer and eco-friendlier than other chalk products on the market. In other words, ECO Gold is as easy on the environment as it is on your hands. Plus, thanks to its pure form, this chalk is extra absorbent, offering superior drying power and effectively enhancing your grip.
