Description
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 Viper’s hydroformed shaft extends through the grip for maximum rigidity and a responsive feel, and our Natural 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.

Best Ice Tool I’ve used.
From vertical ice to general mountaineering the viper does it all!

Outstanding!
Just picked these up and they were amazing for steep ice heading up and also used for a nice little assist heading down on skis through a tight icy choke. Would def recommend.

Love these tools!
I started ice climbing a few seasons ago and tested out a lot of different tools from friends and these always felt the best, so I finally took the leap and bought my own set! They feel good in my hands and have a nice swing. Definitely recommend!

Great for Rainier
Great Ice Ax with an awesome grip that keeps you moving up the mountain. Looking forward to using this more on additional adventures and wearing it in over time. Like that the tips can be replaced.
