"I've been using it for a decade, on McKinley, Everest, Rainier. It goes with me everywhere I go." Jake Norton
 
For security/self arrest capability on steep-line descents and ski mountaineering, the Whippet is an indispensable self-arrest tool, designed to keep slips from turning into slides-for-life. This season Black Diamond increased the collapsibility as well as ergonomically updated the dual-density grip and integrated it with the 4130 chromoly pick and canard wing. FlickLock adjustability and a BD three quarter Basket round out this backcountry performer.

The engineering of our Black Diamonds dual-density grip and anatomical wrist strap is inspired by the powerful interface of cross-country ski grips and wrist straps. Our two-tone grip has soft and grippy black elastomer sections while denser colored areas provide support. The firm molded lip on the top of the grip adjusts binding levers and climbing posts with ease. And the anatomically designed webbing meets contact points at the thickest parts of the hand with a wider strap to provide additional support, then narrows at key joints for mobility and comfort.
Sizes: One size - 140 cm (43-55 in)
