If you need more technical equipment when you’re in the mountains, then you can rely on the Raven Pro Ice Axe from Black Diamond. It looks like a classic mountaineering pick, but offers a better performance due to its modern design. The pick is made of stainless and resistant steel and has a sharp tip, allowing it to penetrate harder ice with ease. Other practical features include the trapezoidal cross-section and the non-slip rubber coating that ensure the shaft can lie nicely in your hand. It’s also slightly angled for added efficiency when hitting the ice. This ice axe is available in different sizes, so you can make a selection based on your size or personal preference. If you want support on glaciers and snowfields, then this model is the way to go.
