This alpine climbing machine is engineered with durability and versatility in mind. A hydroformed shaft maximizes strength and stiffness while keeping weight down, while the fine-tuned length and pick angle make the Viper comfortable and easy to handle on variable types of ice and snow. The bottom flick-lever allows you to stow the bottom pommel when planting the axe in snow. The Viper is a part of our I.C.E. System - which means the picks and heads are all interchangeable - but comes equipped with the standard I.C.E. pick and either an alpine hammer or adze. If you’re looking for an ultra-versatile alpine climbing tool that’ll have you covered on steep couloirs, ice routes, and varied winter ascents the Viper is what you want to swing. Modern picks and head configuration allow for great performance on technical terrain
