    The evolution of the Black Diamond Viper hammer 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

    Please note: Black Diamond products can only be shipped to the U.S. and Mexico.

    Imported.

      Comments about Black Diamond Viper Ice Tool - Hammer:

      I have use this axe for two years (out of ten). It's not often that a piece of gear can make that big of a difference but I went from 3-3+ to comfortable leading 4+ and playing on M8. I got the fang, it protects my knuckles. I can clip in or go leashless. The fixed position of the clip in point for the androids is a bit too high, in my opinion. I highly recommend these.

        Comments about Black Diamond Viper Ice Tool - Hammer:

        This tool, both hammer and adze are great. I have found the picks to be quite durable, even with dry tooling and sometimes going a little too deep on thin ice. I love the swing weight, and the adjustability of the handle should work for both big hands (like mine) and small hands alike. Overall I am extremely pleased with these tools. The only gripe is I am having a hard time finding the 2007 specific leashes.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
