Black Diamond Viper Adze - 2005

The Black Diamond Viper Adze Set contains a Viper ice axe and an adze tool designed for steep ice, really steep ice. The key feature is its "minor axis" shaft orientation, which gives this tool more clearance (without sacrificing stability). The result is that you'll spend less time swinging and more time climbing. The molded hourglass grip on the Viper is perfect for smaller hands, and a contoured pinky rest reduces fatigue and adds control.

Bottom Line: The Viper will dig its fang into some super steep and frozen stuff.

Great tool for many uses

These are great tools for both water ice and alpine climbing. Lots of clearence and the small pommel allows easy plunging in hard snow. I suggest not using the Viper Android Leash if you are planning on doing any alpine climbing as it does not allow you to grab the head of your tool. You are better off in the standard Android or the Lockdown Leash. Great tools if you have small hands.
