Our 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 classic climbs the world over for decades. Now redesigned, the Raven is lighter, and sports 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.

From rugged tents built to withstand the elements to durable hiking boots that keep you moving mile after mile, we curate only the highest-quality gear for every adventure. Whether you’re heading out for a weekend camping trip or tackling a challenging backcountry trek, our mission is to equip you with reliable, performance-tested essentials so you can focus on making memories under the open sky.
