Black Diamond Hydra Ice Tool
Description
A revolution in versatility, the Hydra Ice Tool is a true modular system that can be configured to match any mission, from pure ice to technical alpine, to mixed comp climbing.
Built to utilize the innovative BD Integrated Component Exchange (I.C.E.) system, the Hydra Ice Tool can be configured to maximize performance on any technical winter terrain. From water ice in the Alps, new lines in the Alaska Range, or technical mixed climbing, the Hydra tool accepts a full suite of I.C.E. accessories-including picks, hammers, adze, head-weights, spikes, and grip spacers-allowing you to customize your tool to match any mission. The tool’s hydrofoamed shaft is ergonomically designed for steep technical climbing, from overhanging waterfall ice to hooking through mixed terrain. Plus the grip can be fine-tuned to fit your hand and has options for a lower spike or lower pommel. Includes a light and heavy head-weight set, 4mm and 5mm wrenches, and grip spacers.

<p>Here at Black Diamond it's all about climbing and skiing. We share the same experiences that you do on rock, ice and snow and these experiences push us to make the best gear possible for our worldwide family of climbers and skiers.</p><p>What began with a backyard anvil and a hammer has now grown into a global company with offices on three continents. Black Diamond is a company that's not just for rock climbers and skiers, but one that stands for the spirit of the sports we live, their values and goals, past, present and future. Since 1957, our innovative gear designs have set the standard in numerous areas. This is partly the result of dedication, desire and diligence on the part of an incredible team of people. It's also a product of the fact that each of us are climbers and skiers ourselves.</p><p>We're a company of users. It's who we are. We're the greatest dreamers about what could be, and the harshest of critics about what exists. Because of this, the creation of Black Diamond is a process that will never end. The company today is more committed than ever, thanks to the many people here in the U.S., at Black Diamond Europe and at Black Diamond Asia whose limitless energy and hands-on involvement have created a promising future for all climbers and skiers worldwide.</p>
