Aug 2006 - revised to remove the comingling of BD with Chouinard Eq Ltd. They are separate companies. Chouinard Equipment Ltd. also deserves a separate article is someone would like to start one. Much of this article was not very accurate - better now I hope. Hi Maria! Ratagonia 17:39, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The tragedy of Chouinard Equipment was not that the company manufactured defective products, rather it was sunk by its alleged "failure to warn" customers of the potential dangers inherent in the use of climbing equipment. The spirit that had been Chouinard Equipment could not be extinguished however, and on December 1, 1989 the former employees of Chouinard Equipment signed the papers to make the first employee-owned company in the climbing industry official. Black Diamond was born. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.58.35.86 (talk) 19:33, August 23, 2007 (UTC)
Self-editing is highly discouraged here on the Wikipedia. However, if an article appears in a reputable magazine, you can place that as a link in the External Links section, and an amateur editor might include some of the information found there in the article.
