Black Diamond Carbon Whippet pole 2024
Built for steep terrain that demands extra traction, the two-piece Carbon Whippet is the ultimate ski mountaineering tool. With its removable steel pick, the Whippet adds security for steep, icy bootpacks and no-fall descents, and can transition into an adjustable ski pole for backcountry turns. This two-piece pole features a removable steel pick, giving you extra traction on steep, high-consequence terrain. By using the ClickLock dial, you can release the pick and descend moderate slopes with a lightweight, yet rugged two-piece pole. The pole features a carbon fiber lower with an aluminum upper and our upgraded FlickLock Pro adjustment, which is now lighter, stronger and easier to use, with a more durable, forged aluminum construction.
