I exchanged this ice ax for the 70 cm one. 60 cm is too short for Rainier. Although, the Black Diamond Raven Pro Ice Axe is excellent.

Excellent ice axe. Only have used it couple of times but so far I like it a lot. Very light.

I bought this axe for a recent trip on Mount Rainier. It was a good choice. The body and head are very lightweight and well shaped, making it very comfortable to carry and use for long periods. The finish is very durable and looks great. It is very sharp, so like the other posts suggest, get the protectors. I bought the protectors made by Black Diamond and they held up well in my bag on the flight home despite there being exactly enough room for the axe.

When climbing for 8-12 hours in a day, every ounce counts. After spending time seeing what ax had the best balance of weight to durability this once stood out. Not to mention the slick look of polished metal. Like the previous review make sure to pick up ax protector since the first time I traveled with it the pick end ripped through my bag... enjoy the mountains! Rick J

This is a well crafted axe that has a wow factor when you pick it up and feel the smooth lines and light weight. I can't wait to use mine on the mountains. The tips are verry sharp so get a protective cover to keep you and your gear safe.

This is a great axe. Very lightweight but sturdy enough to feel secure. The head is shaped properly for a very comfortable self-belay grip on those long climbs.
