Ice Axe Black Diamond Raven Winter 2024
Traditional mountaineer's piolet is now lighter with an updated head shape for increased comfort while walking and has an ergonomically shaped trapezoidal shaft for better grip. We've also improved the pick and adze geometry for more secure placements and chopping, and the redesigned spike has improved bite and plunge-ability.
