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

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

Made in USA.

    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
