BLACK DIAMOND VIPER

The VIPER is the 4x4 of ice tools, delivering the absolute best clearance for efficienct movement over difficult and convoluted terrain. "Minor axis" aluminum shaft orientation springs from the original all around COBRA design that adds "liveliness" to each "stick" as well as dampening the impact of each swing. The refined LASER PICK doesn't take a lot of energy to drive either - you'll experience solid placements with less effort - as you control input via the co-molded hourglass grip, trigger STRIKE and FANG. Pair with a VIPER ANDROID LEASH (nic) for strapped ascents or go leashless as support for the ultimate and versatile modern ice system.
