For technical ice routes, we pack along the Black Diamond Fuel Ice Tool. Hydroformed from a single piece of aluminum, the shaft is ultralight, strong, and stiff for efficient swings. The reverse-curve Fusion pick gives us reliable performance on steep ice routes, while the adjustable grip helps us get that made-for-us fit. Equipped with a blunt, rounded spike, this tool won't stab or catch as we climb yet remains helpful in building anchors.
