Questions & Answers

Raven's pro and non-pro versions have different features. How do they differ?

As a result of the lighter aluminum shaft, the Raven Pro weighs 2 oz less than the Raven.

Is there any way to find out how much the 75cm weighs?

In my 70cm, there is 13oz in weight. As far as I know, there is no leash attached to the dog, so

It's good for you if you do it You can self-rescue or you can call for help Who is arrested?

Here's a list of outdoor gear lab curated products A comparison of the Black Diamond Raven Pro and the Vmax X-Treme revealed that it scored average to slightly below average Tests of self-absorption on the side. When we were experiencing soft snow, the Raven Pro's wider pick worked pretty well to prevent us from getting ahead Our review of the Raven Pro revealed that in firmer conditions, it struggled to gain good traction compared to many of the other models we came across. Although the Raven Pro is designed with a straight shaft, it remains solid for self-arrest, but our testers favored the additional leverage that a slightly curved shaft provided. Our initial impression was that the Raven Pro did not self-test The Grivel Evolution and Petzl Glacier did not arrest as well as the Petzl Summit and Petzl Glacier but did perform better than the all-mountain options CAMP Corsa is made of aluminum. According to our test, every Black Diamond Raven ice axe in the Raven family, including the Raven Ultra and base model Raven, performed the same in our side-by-side comparison A self-portrait from the side An arrest comparison will result. Nonetheless, I carry it for winter climbing in the NE mountains, and it is a great piece of equipment.

Selected User Reviews For Black Diamond Raven Pro Ice Axe

There is a $20 difference between the pro version and the free version
5/5

Using this has enabled me to stop myself a few times throughout the course of my life without any problems. The title of this article is It's worth the money to get the pro version! I have used both the standard raven and the pro, both are superior, but the pro is a no brainer since it weighs way less and you'll be glad you didn't have to spend money on a third leg when you're lifting it up mountains thousands of times.

5/5

I ever had a toy that was the best, but you have to be careful with it because it's The trekking poles are a must-have if you are hiking or climbing steep mountains.

It seems to be well made and light
5/5

Neither have I. It seems to be well made and light. To date, I have neither had to use it in an emergency nor do I plan on having to. You must keep in mind that this is a top rated piece of snow and ice equipment for hiking,.

On my climb of Mount Washington, I used it
5/5

There are at least four Whitneys in the country. On my climb of Mount Washington, I used it. It was a good day in the snow and ice for Whitney. This is one of the lightest and strongest shirts ever.

Weighs less than two pounds and is One other ice axe is a rental from REI that I have only used once
5/5

This is a big, heavy, and bulky object. With it at my side, I was extremely comfortable climbing Mount Whitney. It is very thin, strong, and lite in weight. I'm planning on using this ice axe for much, much longer than I have imagined.
