The Black Diamond Viper is your go-to alpine climbing tool for tackling everything from steep couloirs to mixed winter terrain. Its hydroformed shaft delivers exceptional strength and stiffness without unnecessary weight, while the precisely calibrated length and pick geometry ensure confident placement on ice and snow. A clever flip-lever lets you secure the bottom pommel when driving the axe into snow, reducing fatigue during long pitches. As part of Black Diamond's I.C.E. System, the Viper's interchangeable picks and heads give you flexibility to customise your setup. It arrives ready to climb with a standard I.C.E. pick and your choice of alpine hammer or adze head. Whether you're pushing technical ice routes or navigating variable alpine conditions, the Viper combines the durability and adaptability serious mountaineers depend on.
