Redesigned with an up to 50 gram reduction in weight, this classic Raven with Grip by Black Diamond optimizes comfort and ease of use when glacier traveling and mountaineering. Like all of our piolets, the anodized shaft is built from lightweight, aircraft aluminum alloy for high strength. 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.

Everything about this axe is killer, except for the grip. Uncessary weight and gets a little caught up in the occasional probe. Go with the Raven Pro and save yourself the sleepless nights of worrying about whether this instrument of awe inspiring arrests will be the saving grace when you bite it on big ice in Nepal.
Excellent tool--65-70cm ideal length for entry-mid level snow-bridge probing. Light weight easy for hand transitioning during step-kicking as the leash is removable.
