HERITAGE THAT BEGAN WITH A BACKYARD ANVIL AND HAMMER CONTINUES TODAY
You can't tell the history of climbing and mountain sports without telling the history of Black Diamond.
Return to the ‘golden age’ of climbing, with the ultimate big wall hammer.
Our hammer was introduced in ’66 in Yosemite Valley where you would hear the satisfying ting, ting, ting of a piton being placed on a new route. Today, while climbing has evolved, stay connected to our roots with the tool still needed for some big wall aid climbs and new route establishment—the Yosemite Hammer.
