A modern take on Chouinard's original curved-pick mountain axe, the Black Diamond Raven Ice Axe is a classic mountaineer's piolet that has been used on climbs all over the world for decades. Lightweight with an investment-cast ergonomic stainless-steel head, the Raven sits comfortably in hand during glacier travel. The pick and adze geometry allows for secure placements and efficient chopping, while the spike plunges reliably on icy terrain. The durable aircraft-grade aluminum shaft features a trapezoidal cross-section for a secure, comfortable grip.
