Black Diamond Raven Axe

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. 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.
