Black Diamond Venom Adze

4 Star Rating

Fine iceaxe

By Ranked #456 - Backcountry Snowboarding August 9, 2006

I used the Venom for five days on a row and have never met a better ice axe for general climbing. It is certainly not a specialized ice-climbing tool, but it is light, easy to use and durable enough for any trekking across snow and ice. And the slight curve of the handle at the end makes it a great assistance on those rock climbing moves. A few times I was literally hanging by the axe itself on the rock.
