Product Review

The Black Diamond raven ice axes with grip takes Black Diamond classic mountaineer's piolet and adds a lower grip and a slider leash for increased security and versatility. The aluminum shaft and investment-cast stainless steel head provide durable, classic functionality-whether you're plunging up a snowy Chute or traversing a jagged crevasse field. The comfortable dual-density grip increases holding power for icy steps and short steep sections where you need to use the Axel like a modern ice tool.
