Best pick out there

By James Stewart Ranked #183 - Ice Climbing November 11, 2008

So Black Diamond laser picks suck. Period. For weekend-warrior ice climbers who never abuse their gear, they work fine. But for those of us who like to take our tools and hang it out on big alpine routes, something a little more sturdy comes in handy (I broke 4 laser picks last year, no titans). The titan pick brilliant on mixed routes and, contrary to popular belief, does NOT trash thin ice or displace dinner plates with every swing if you know how to swing a tool. I won't use anything else.
