The well-trusted Black Diamond Express Ice Screw has been around for years and happens to be the easiest and fastest placing ice screw on the market. They have seen a few improvements in their time, the most recent being lengthening of the teeth, the addition of a second clipping point on the hanger and adding a bevel shape on the colour coded handle to improve grip. The handle allows the screw to be spun in or out of the ice with speed, and without changing hand position. The tube of the screw is tapered out so that the teeth cut a slightly larger hole than the tube - this reduces friction during placements.

The Black Diamond Ultralight Ice Screw is the lightest ice screw in the world. 45% lighter than Black Diamond Express Screws make these guys ideal for fast and light Alpinism and ski mountaineering or for those that need to carry large racks of screws for top end winter climbing. Ultralight screws feature an aluminium body with steel tip to shave weight and retain a keen cutting tip. The innovative wire-gate Express handle folds out and has two different clip-in positions with color-coding to help differentiate length.

The Black Diamond Viper has an adjustable upper hand rest which is easily secured or released with a quick Flick Lock system. The hand rest can be as low as the TPU hand grip or as high as the shaft mid-point. The hydroformed shaft extends through the grip for maximum rigidity and a responsive feel and as before the Viper still has a clip-able spike so it can be clipped with the Spinner Leash amongst other things. The Black Diamond Viper provides good all-round performance for ice and alpine climber.
