Black Diamond Raven Ice Axe

Item #BLD0294 | 61 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Standard for a reason

By Ranked #519 - Backcountry Snowboarding November 7, 2008

Great axe. Lighter than most. Cost effective. The new Raven shaves 50 grams putting it pretty darn close the the Pro. I find the slightly more raised axe head more comfortable to grip on a 12 hr slog over the Pro and others; less hand fatigue esp. with gloves. Arrests well but so do all of them.
