Black Diamond Raven Ice Ax

The Black Diamond Raven Ice Ax is a modern interpretation of the legendary curved-pick mountaineering tool that has been a trusted companion on classic climbs around the world for decades. Redesigned to be lighter with an ergonomically improved investment-cast stainless steel head for increased comfort, the Raven offers updated pick and adze geometry to enable more secure placements and efficient chopping. The revamped spike delivers better bite and improved plunge-ability on icy surfaces. Black Diamond's durable aircraft-grade aluminum shaft features a trapezoidal cross-section for an enhanced grip. With a large hole for carabiner attachment and pick geometry engineered for secure self-arresting, the CEN-B certified Raven is an iconic ice ax reborn for today's mountaineers.
