Black Diamond - Viper Ice Tool

This alpine climbing machine is engineered with durability and versatility in mind. A hydroformed shaft maximizes strength and stiffness while keeping weight down, while the fine-tuned length and pick angle make the Viper comfortable and easy to handle on variable types of ice and snow. The bottom flick-lever allows you to stow the bottom pommel when planting the axe in snow. The Viper is a part of our I.C.E. System - which means the picks and heads are all interchangeable - but comes equipped with the standard I.C.E. pick and either an alpine hammer or adze. If you’re looking for an ultra-versatile alpine climbing tool that’ll have you covered on steep couloirs, ice routes, and varied winter ascents the Viper is what you want to swing.
