Ice Climbing
Ice Tools The evolution of the Black Diamond Viper ice tool continues with key updates that keep you swinging into ice with ease. New hydroformed shaft is stiffer and lighter than the previous model, yet it still maintains excellent clearance. Hydroforming uses pressurized water to expand the Viper's shaft into a unique shape that is exceptionally stiff and light. Equipped with Viper Fang and Strike to cradle your hands while climbing leashless; Strike allows you to match hands or choke up while climbing. Chromoly-steel laser pick has a thin taper and low-volume tip that penetrates easily with a low displacement of ice. Stainless-steel head and 7075 aluminum shaft combine for lightweight but durable power on ice and mixed routes. Superb balance creates a natural swing for placements with excellent purchase. Hammer head shatters loose ice and drives in protection. Thermoplastic urethane grip provides a sure hold while wearing gloves. A great tool for mixed climbing, waterfall ice and drytool classics.

Ice Climbing
Ice Tools The Black Diamond Fusion ice tool uses top-of-the-line technology to create a technical tool worthy of the hardest vertical ice and mixed climbing routes. Using a single piece of hydroformed aluminum, the Fusion eliminates the overlapping sections of metal found in most other technical tools, thereby reducing overall weight. Hydroforming uses pressurized water to expand the shaft into a unique 3D shape that's stiff and light. Shaft shape provides excellent clearance for hooking on small edges and thin ice. Grip is molded over the aluminum shaft and comes with three 5mm spacers that can be used to adjust the grip size to accommodate most hands. Stainless-steel modular head lets you easily swap out picks in the field; head is compatible with all current Black Diamond picks. Tool comes with the chromoly steel Fusion pick (additional picks not included); pick features aggressive front teeth for hooking and a thick design for strength. Stainless-steel hammer adds balance to the tool and can be used to clear ice and debris from a route. Bottom spike can be clipped with the Black Diamond Spinner leash (not included); spike is removable. Shaft and pick are CEN-T certified.
