When your summer climbing adventures call for gear that moves with you from crag to summit, the Black Diamond Valley Shorts deliver the perfect blend of technical performance and all-day comfort. These women's climbing shorts feature a gusseted inseam that gives you the freedom to high-step and stem through challenging sequences, while the harness-compatible design ensures they sit comfortably under your gear without bunching or riding up. Built from lightweight stretch nylon with a PFC-free DWR finish, they shed light moisture while keeping you cool during those long approaches and multi-pitch days. Four strategically placed pockets, including a secure zip thigh pocket, keep your essentials within reach whether you're scrambling through alpine terrain or tackling your latest project. At just 175g, these versatile shorts are light enough for your climbing pack but tough enough to handle everything from granite slabs to mountain hiking trails.
