Black Diamond Raven Ice Axe
Oh she’s sleek. She’s sexy. But don’t let her cunning
appearances fool you…she packs quite a punch. With a 17-4 investment
cast stainless steel head that was designed with both beauty and function
in mind, this svelte piolet has a neutral-clearance pick which tapers back
to a wasp-waisted platform. Finger notches on each side of her head make
for a secure grip and allow for quick, smooth hand rotation when going
into a self-arrest. Take this beauty into the mountains and watch how her
curved adze chops steps, clears snow and blasts ice with ease. She’s
also light and lithe—for her 7075-T6 extruded shaft cuts weight to
a minimum without a sacrifice in strength.
