My New Old Friend

By Gregory Stamey Ranked #307 - Backcountry Snowboarding July 12, 2009

We've only known each other a short time, but we will be friends for the rest of our lives. Being my first ice axe, the Raven Pro and I got along real well. When you carry something which you rely on to be a major factor in possibly saving your life at an unexpected time, you must have confidence in it. The Raven Pro fit very well in my hand, the weight was balanced perfectly, the materials strong, and of course Black Diamonds trustworthiness all played a factor in why this is a great tool. After a day of mountaineering it now holds a few indelible scars which will be associated with the first of many MAJOR outdoor accomplishments in my life. So grab this ice axe and head for the summit.
