More About the Product
The Chouinard carabiner, created by Yvon Chouinard in the 1960s, revolutionized climbing with its strength, lightness, and reliability. As the founder of Chouinard Equipment, Yvon’s innovations laid the groundwork for modern climbing gear, transforming the sport. In 1989, Chouinard Equipment was sold and rebranded as Black Diamond Equipment, carrying forward his legacy of high-performance gear. Simultaneously, Chouinard went on to focus on Patagonia, a brand that redefined outdoor apparel with a commitment to environmental sustainability.
