Bigger and better things like perhaps the BD Cobras. Not the Quarks! And no terrible car accident.

good god! have you tried the cobras? They certainly aren't better. I hope you have monster grip strength cause it's like holding onto two telephone poles.

All the reviews that I have read suggest that the Cobras are superior for Alpine climbing. They are less bent than the Vipers and Quarks. Perhaps stronger? The grip size is consistently listed as a drawback, and they are heavier. However, for alpine climbing they appear to be the better tool. But, if nobody wants to buy my BD Vipers then I'll happily keep them.

I'm sure you'll find a buyer for the Vipers. They are one of the best tools out there.

It's true that the shallower angle cobras are better on low angle terrain but personaly I find the grip size ruins it. The grips "really" are that bigger. Not just for locking off (who cares you have leashes right) but more importantly for swinging. my 2 cents. Might be worth trying somone elses before buying is all I'm saying. good luck

I have Vipers for sale too. Used 6 days and come with the Fang. I'll sell them cheaper lol.

Me, I am moving to better things, ie, Quarks.

Hey Dude, I've got my own Vipers, but I'll take those leashes off of you. Mine are clean right now, and I think I'd like to do a little more leashed climbing before I go truly Sans Dragonnes.

yeah, man, try the cobras. I didn't like them that much personally. But I"m a fussy one. my small hands (comparably to mens) and less stregnth (comparably to SOME men. HA)...I've tried nearly every tool going...and the Quarks are where it's at for me.

Hey Matt,

Make me an offer and I'll sell the leashes separately. Keep in mind that they are 45 CAD each at MEC, so 103.50 CAD with tax.
