Black Diamond Raven Ice Axe

Item #BLD0294 | 68 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Solid

By Ranked #733 - Backcountry Snowboarding October 23, 2008

I've used this outstanding tool for winter and alpine endeavors and it has saved my bacon more than once. It provides a comfortable carry, and is light but not insubstantial (read: makes a decent anchor when necessary.) The classic straight shaft makes chopping steps easy, and the pick angle is nice for all-around use. The Raven would make an excellent entry-level axe with it's perfect combination of great price and durability.
