Black Diamond Fuel
$299
The Fuels have been many climbers go-to tool for the past few seasons and for good reasons. They are a solid all-round choice for steep ice and technical mixed. They swing like a dream and have comfortable grips with super sticky rubber. The shaft is hydroformed from a single piece of aluminum for rigidity. They’re sleek and streamlined with a simple head design that is easy to use when swapping picks. They have a removable and clippable spike and the pommel has spacing washers for different hand sizes. If you go with an integrated hammer, then you can pound pins on mixed and alpine routes. Ideal for steep ice and mixed.
