Mad Rock began in 2002 as a small, climber owned and operated company that made innovative, highly technical and affordable rock climbing shoes.

After many years and over a million pairs later, we still choose not to reflect on our accomplishments nor rest on our laurels-because our best shoes will always be the next batch!

We are Cape Town-based climbers! Inspired to explore the incredible South African landscapes in every way we can.

Our goal is to make sure you are prepared in the best way possible while living an adventurous lifestyle. This is why we have combined our passion for training with quality design and craftsmanship, to create a range of hangboards that will suit your needs. Be it training while living the nomad lifestyle to a full home gym setup.

From the local boulders to remote alpine faces, our cutting-edge climbing equipment is designed and built for the send across the full spectrum of climbing pursuits.

Here at Black Diamond it's all about climbing and skiing. We share the same experiences that you do on rock, ice and snow and these experiences push us to make the best gear possible for our worldwide family of climbers and skiers.
