The latest evolution of Black Diamond's legendary Whippet, 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 Black Diamond's upgraded FlickLock Pro adjustment, which is now lighter, stronger and easier to use, with a more durable, forged aluminum construction.
