The Viper Ice Tool by Black Diamond has evolved with a new hydroformed shaft to increase stiffness and reduce weight, while maintaining exceptional clearance. Hydroforming uses pressurized water to expand the Viper's shaft into its uniquely stiff, yet lightweight shape. With superb balance, leashless capability and an optional integrated Android Leash, the Viper goes most anywhere. Comes equipped with our Viper Fang and Strike, to cradle your hands for precise gripping when going leashless. Laser Pick included. Patented.

"Good Tools" 		          12/15/09
I demoed these twice before I decided to purchase ones of my own. They have a little more weight than the fusions. I find the little extra weight helps me get good placement. With the fusion I found myself having to take more swings. They are solid tools and I recommend them.

"All-round greatness" 		          05/23/08
This is about the best semi-professional axe available solid placements, great swing, light, about everything you need for ice, medium difficulty mixed or even the toughest alpine routes.

"If you do it mixed." 		          12/17/07
The Fusion performs superbly on difficult climbs with sections of rock. But it is a specialized tool built primarily for advanced mixed routes. For frozen waterfalls and pure-ice climbs, I prefer a traditional curved ice ax with a leash and a hammer.

"lightweight all around tool with superb strength" 		          12/06/07
Just got these, and have only had them on vertical ice twice, but the precision, balance and grip of this tool are unparalleled in other leashed tools.
