Black Diamond Ice Box

Item #BLD0538 | 3 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Design not flexible enough

By Ranked #482 - Ice Climbing December 7, 2007

The ice box seems sturdy enough, but I have a couple of issues with it. First, it may be difficult or impossible to use the ice axe holders if you own the newer style leashless axes with a pinky hook or a substantial curve to the axe. Second, you own a more radical pair of crampons (Rambo IV), with vertical frames that are permanently bolted to size and have heel hooks, again they may not fit in the crampon pouch. And lastly, there are only ten sleeves for ice screws, I have 14, so there will be some loose screws sliding around.
