Black Diamond Viper Ice Axe

A durable, easy-to-swing tool built for a full season of winter climbing objectives, the redesigned Black Diamond Viper Ice Tool provides all-around performance for the ice and alpine climber. The Vipers hydroformed shaft extends through the grip for maximum rigidity and a responsive feel, and our Alpine Pick is included to beef up durability on scrappy mountain terrain. The adjustable FlickLock pommel acts as a secondary grip position for ice climbing and cragging and easily slides up the shaft for choking up on low-angle snow slopes. The modular head allows for easy changing of picks and swapping between hammer and adze.
