The Black Diamond Raven Ice Axe: This classic piolet optimizes comfort and ease of use when glacier travel and mountaineering. Investment-cast one-piece stainless steel heads are comfortable to wrap your fingers around and the Grip version offers a dual-density, molded grip for when the going gets steep or when it’s time to chop. The curve of the pick and its aggressive teeth are engineered for secure self-arrest.
