Solid, Stable, Still Black Diamond

One of the best all-around piolets I've used. It's pretty lightweight (not as much as the pro, though), but still fully functional. The grip at the "T" is very comfortable, even without gloves. The only thing I wish it had was a slightly bent shaft to make it easier for steep ice. But for what it is, it's a great ice axe -- perfect for everyone, beginner and experienced alike.
