Black Diamond Viper Ice Tool



Sweet Ice Tool
The Vipers are great all around Ice Tools. One of the coolest things about this tool is that you can use it as a leashless tool when you want to and then with the Viper Android Leash just clip in and you are climbing with leashes. When in Ouray for example- you are probably just going leashless and they will definitely work well on the Ice and Mixed routes there, so you don't need a second pair of pure leashless tools. If you are doing a long route and aren't comfortable with the possibility of dropping a tool, then the option is there to just use leashes. And as mentioned above, you can go back and forth too. And of course they have a good swing weight and stick really well. Two thumbs up.
