Black Diamond Blizzard Holster

An ice tool carry holster designed for alpinists and aid climbers who need both hands free on steep approaches without the bulk of a dedicated tool pack attachment system, the Blizzard Holster from Black Diamond uses polyethylene-reinforced webbing construction sized at 3.5 inches wide by 1.5 inches deep for a stable, oval-profile tool seat. The oval shape prevents tools from rolling side to side under the glove end while the webbing retains enough flexibility to sit against the body comfortably under a harness or hip belt. The Blizzard Holster holds two ice tools or one wall hammer, and the polyethylene-reinforced webbing construction keeps the holster rigid enough to re-seat a tool one-handed without looking down on technical mixed approaches where both hands are still needed on the rock above.
