Black Diamond's Viper Ice Tool is an all-around axe for any terrain from nearby crags to faraway alpine climbs. Updates for this season include a superlight, hydroformed shaft that extends through the grip for a more responsive feel, and a beefed up Titan Pick for durability and a reliable, versatile performance. You can switch out the Titan Pick with any Black Diamond picks, adzes, and hammers thanks to the modular head. The adjustable FlickLock pommel slides up and down the shaft to offer more grip options on steep climbs or low-angle slabs.
