Black Diamond Yosemite Hammer

Before 5.11, stoppers, or cams, pushing the limits of climbing required pitons and a 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.
