The new Raven Pro is one of the lightest full-service ice axes ever made. This simple, streamlined piolet weighs 100 g less than the Raven and has all the functional features you'll need in the mountains. The polished stainless steel head on this beauty tapers back to a wide platform that has finger notches on each side for comfort and a secure grip. And the classically curved adz allows you to chop steps in rock-hard ice with ease. Available in four lengths, the Pro's sleek 7005-T6 extruded shaft and stainless steel spike are both durable and perform well in locales like Aconcagua, Denali or the Himalaya.

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!

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.
