Simond made the Ocelot Hyper Light Ice Axe with a lightweight aluminum shaft and durable steel head to give you the performance you need for demanding mountaineering. The forged pick easily penetrates hard ice when conditions get tough, and a long spike provides excellent traction in cane position. Best of all, the Ocelot Hyper Light Ice Axe weighs only 15 ounces, so you can afford to pack important stuff, like food.
Bottom Line: From Colorado 14ers to Alaska, the Simond Ocelot Hyper Light Ice Axe keeps you going.

I'm looking for a general-use mountaineering axe, and was wondering how the Ocelot compares to the Black Diamond Raven. The axe will see use in New Hampshire and Maine during winter ascents. Any advantage to getting one over the other? I'm not familiar with Simond...what is their reputation?

There are quite a few differences. It appears from the picture that the Ocelot has the head and spike rivited on, the Raven is glued together with aircraft grade expoxy. (Rivets tend to rust over time) Looking at the shape of the head the raven appears to be slightly longer and is thinner where you hold it making it easier to hold with gloves. (Don't ever use an ice axe w/o gloves)I have a ice axe like the Simond, same head shape and design and I have the BD Raven Pro, The Raven Pro is always the ice axe I take and other sits near my front door.
