The Black Diamond Raven Ice Axe with Grip takes BD's classic mountaineer's ice axe, the Raven, and combines a new dual-density rubber grip and a 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 pick and adze geometry allow for more secure placements and efficient chopping, and the 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.
