Black Diamond Deploy 7 Shovel
Great avy shovel

This shovel works great for what it is made to do. It fits well in most backcountry packs, especially the BD packs, It deploys very quickly, and the blade although not the biggest, is larger than many of the other models out there today. The main aspect that I like about this shovel is that the handle is always attached to the blade. This eliminates the problem of possibly losing your handle because it is strapped to your pack which I have seen happen multiple times before. It is a solid shovel and digs quite well so check it out

Good review! Pretty much what I experienced, so I don't even need to write my own review.
