Black Diamond

Classic mountaineering piolet with updated grip and head

The Black Diamond Raven Ice Axe with Grip takes their classic mountaineer's piolet, the Raven, and combines an updated dual-density rubber grip and the updated Slider Leash for increased security and versatility. Now redesigned, the Raven with Grip is lighter, and has an updated investment-cast, stainless steel head ergonomically improved for increased comfort while walking. The updated pick and adze geometry allow for more secure placements and efficient chopping, and the revamped spike adds better bite on those icy placements with improved plunge-ability. The durable aircraft-grade aluminum shaft is also improved with a trapezoidal cross-section for a more comfortable, better grip.
