Black Diamond Raven w/Grip Reviews
Black Diamond Raven w/Grip Reviews
A great straight ice axe., Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Black Diamond Raven w/Grip (Misc.) I prefer the traditional straight ice axes so I bought a set of these. A good price and it has held up well thus far. The leash is nice. Works good to cut steps int he snow and I've used one of them to anchor down my tent in high winds. I've not been gentle with these axes but so far they've held up great. I like them so much I bought a 65cm set for my girlfriend. If you are going to do climbing up a sheer ice face you may want to go with a technical set of axes but for general mountaineering these work great. Makes climbing in compact snow & ice so much easier, By Nathanael Boehm (Christchurch, New Zealand) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Black Diamond Raven w/Grip (Misc.) This is my first and own ice axe I've owned and I love it. I'm not into serious mountaineering, I just like hiking and tramping, and living in New Zealand snow and ice are unavoidable. The Black Diamond Raven is light but solid and feels like a high quality tool. It makes clambering up compact snow and ice slopes so much easier and safer. A great, functional Ice Axe., By Amazon Verified Purchase I don't compare this to an axe costing twice as much, but it is an excellent choice in its price range. |
