Black Diamond Raven Ice Axe w/ Grip

The Raven Ice Axe with Grip takes Black Diamond's® classic mountaineer's piolet, the Raven, and combines a new dual-density rubber grip and their updated Slider Leash for increased security and versatility.

Now redesigned, the axe is lighter and has an updated investment-cast, stainless steel head ergonomically improved for increased comfort while walking. An updated pick and adze geometry allow for more secure placements and effcient chopping, and the revamped spike adds better bite on those icy placements with improved plunge-ability. The durable aircraft-grade aluminum shaft is also improved with a trapezoidal cross-section for a more comfortable, better grip.
