Redesigned with an up to 50 gram reduction in weight, the classic Raven Axe by Black Diamond optimizes comfort and ease of use when glacier traveling and mountaineering.

The investment-cast, one-piece stainless steel head is comfortable to wrap your fingers around, and the slim, neutral pick and aggressive teeth are engineered for secure self-arrest. The Raven with Grip is equipped with a Slider Leash and a dual-density, molded grip for when the going gets steep or when you need to chop steps or a bivy platform.

"good quality axe" 		          08/20/09
Bought this for my wife because she has small hands, some of the axes out there on the maket are difficult to grip the head on for long periods of time. The shaft size reduction on this axe worked and the axe is perfect for people with smaller hands.

"excellent mountaineering tool" 		          07/02/09
strong lightweight and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. what more could you ask for ? You may want to get some sort of leash for it but its not a must have. serves dual purpose as a bottle opener as well !!

"Super light, super tough...trust it with your life" 		          04/26/08
This ice axe is amazing. Its light so you can take it anywhere, but super stong so you can trust it with you life. I have had to self-arrest a couple times with it and it has never let me down. One note is that you need to buy some sort of leash for the axe.

"I love it!" 		          04/08/08
I have used the Raven Axe a few times in Mt Baldy near LA and on Cactus to Clouds Skyline trail in Palm Springs. It is a very nice pierce of thing to have with you on icy and snowy slopes. Can't do without it! Works very nice as described by Black Diamond. I liked it better than the Raven Pro.
