Black Diamond Spectre Ice Piton

Designed to work where screws can’t, the Spectre conquers chandeliered ice, shallow curtains, frozen mud, cracks and uneven surfaces. Made from burly steel, the Spectre’s radically curved shape keeps the load close to the wall to prevent levering. Reverse teeth keep the Spectre from walking or being pulled out as a climber moves past it. A must-have for technical ice and mixed climbers. Equipped with a sewn 16-mm sling.

Protecting ice is about imaginative solutions to seemingly impossible problems. The Spectre works where screws and traditional rock gear are ineffective. Used as a quick piece in pick holes, placed in ice-filled cracks or frozen dirt, or driven as a piton the Spectre provides reliable protection when teamed with a creative eye.
