Black Diamond Venom Hammer

Black Diamond designed the Venom Ice Axe to self arrest and plunge into the snow easily but still offer good ice performance.

The Venom Hammer by Black Diamond is the choice for technical mountaineering routes where performance - light weight and durability are paramount. A modular piolet with a curved shaft - the Venom plunges into snow cleanly - self arrests and provides solid placements in steep alpine ice. The interchangeable pick design gives you a choice between the Venom Classic Pick and the Venom Tech Pick - which has a more technical reverse curve. Both pick options self-arrest on snow. Comes with a Tech Pick and a Lockdown Leash.
