"Great axe"  10/04/11

everything you need in an ice axe and nothing you don't. Light weight and super solid construction. What I love about this axe is that it doesn't come with any of the flashy stuff that is unnecessary like rubber grips or stupid little leashes. All you need for a leash is some webbing tied through the hole in the top of the shaft, and make it long enough to clip right into your harness so you can switch hands without having to take a stupid little short lease off your wrist everything you switchback up the slope. I would recommend this axe above any others for traditional mountaineering and ski mountaineering where you're more likely to need it than not.

"Lightweight, pretty, functional."  09/26/11

Used for mountaineering school in Denali. Was the envy of my classmates. Lightweight, ergonomic, simple. Can't go wrong.

"gets the job done in a lighter package"  08/05/11

The Ravens are all very comfortable to grip/carry/handle, but the Pro is especially so given its reduced weight. Though the Pro's pick is noticeably trimmer than the original Raven's, it still allows for efficient arrest.

"Lightweight and strong!"  03/31/11

I've used the Raven Pro during two ascents of Rainier and love how light and strong it is, as well as how comfortable it is when climbing. Mine looks especially bad ass with my Moosejaw sticker on it!

"Great ice ax"  03/21/11

I highly recommend this product for someone looking for a solid, light, ice ax. Fairly cheap I'm sure just the Raven would be fine if you want the 10 dollar difference.

"Great Ice Axe, Great deal."  12/05/10

Plain and simple this is the best glacier travel axe you can get. The weight savings are an obvious advantage and seeing as how it is black diamond, you know that it was built to the highest quality.

"One of the best ice axes on the market"  10/13/09

I just used this ice axe to climb the Kautz Glacier route on Mt. Rainier and it was perfect. Lightweight and very nice in the hand. You barely even realize your holding it because of the weight. Highly reccomended!

"Love the clean light design"  08/18/09

This axe is well designed and well built. It is really light for quick ascents to the glacier and does not weigh you down as you climb. This axe has wow factor when you pick it up and seems to be built tough.

"This is it. BD solved the ice axe equation."  06/22/09

It's light, but the pick still swings. The head has a T cross section to give your palm a large pressure surface for slamming the spike puppy home in dense snow. The had and spike have holes large enough to clip for a make-shift deadman. I've used this axe on mountains all over the world and have never seen a better solution for an alpine axe. Pay the extra bucks for the weight savings and titanium bling for the Pro over the standard Raven.

"Good lightweight axe"  04/02/09

This axe is very light and great for glacier travel and high-altitude mountaineering when every ounce counts. It's extreme light weight hinders it a little when chopping steps in hard ice, though.

"Great Axe"  03/26/09

This axe does what it's meant to and it's light. I've used this axe mountaneering and backcountry skiing. It holds a good edge and is a great first axe.
