Black Diamond

American Black Diamond has a comprehensive selection of equipment for many different outdoor sports: climbing, trail running, free skiing and cross-country skiing, camping and other leisure and outdoor activities. Product design is strongly related to mountains and adventures in the mountains.

Black Diamond started a new ideology of sustainable climbing in the 1970s. At the time, climbing had moved toward fixed bolts and pitons. Crags around the world were becoming littered with fixed protection and pitons, which permanently scarred and altered the rock. As the popularity of climbing increased, this method started to pose a threat for the natural beauty and state of climbing areas all over the world.

Even though the pitons left on the rocks made up 70 percent of Black Diamond’s sales at the time, they still urged the climbing world to stop using them. All climbing protectors should be removable and should not damage the rock.

Today, Black Diamond designs and manufactures its own products as sustainably as possible and strives to have a positive impact on the surrounding society as well. The ethos of the company is that the style in which the goals are achieved is as important as achieving them in general – whether it’s business or outdoor activities.

That’s why Black Diamond combines innovative spawn of equipments with a unique way of running a company. The result is a brand that champions the protection of, and access to, mountain, rock and canyon environments while minimizing its environmental footprint.

OAC Finland acts as Black Diamond’s agency and represents the brand in Finland. At Nouxfest, you can familiarize yourself with Black Diamond’s products at the OAC stand.
