Black Diamond Raven Ultra Ice Axe

Item #BLD0429 | 26 in Stock
5 Star Rating

A sweet, no hassle tool

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #644 - Backcountry Snowboarding June 10, 2009

When it comes to "piolets" the Raven is pretty much perfect. Light, balanced, no-frills. The 50 cm version is perfect for ski mountaineering in the Alps when you need a handy tool on your pack but might not use it all the time. When spring steep skiing season hits don't be left wondering why you didn't invest in a proper tool... get the Raven!

The Raven is an entirely different axe... 4-5 heavier than the Raven Ultra.
