"Sweet Ice Tool" - Review of Black Diamond Viper 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.
