Black Diamond Cobra Hammer Ice Axe

The Cobra is a staple of hard ice leads and bold alpine routes. This year Black Diamond has redesigned the shape of their legendary Cobras lightweight carbon fiber shaft to give it the most clearance of any of our tools without sacrificing balance or axis of rotation. The new silhouette also reduces the overall weight of the Cobra by over 100 grams. The carbon fi ber shaft keeps the majority of the tools weight in the head. Carbon fiber also provides vibration free placements with minimal flex a damp balanced swing and wrist flick sticks. Over molded and textured a new minimized rubber grip is integral to the Cobras lower shaft for a flush fit positive control and a secure precise grip. The optional integrated Android Leash can be added for hard ice climbing. Comes equipped with Laser Pick removable Fang and Strike. Patented.
