Why We Like The Black Diamond Venom Light Tech Ice Axe
Ultralight and modular, Black Diamond's Venom Light Tech Ice Axe is a versatile ice tool that helps us traverse steep routes. The tech pick provides precision on rock routes, as the hammer attachment pounds in pitons with ease. The curved shaft enhances handling efficiency, while the replaceable pick and spike allow customization and boost longevity. Plus, this ice tool doubles as a shovel shaft with Black Diamond's Transfer Shovel (sold separately) attaching quickly to the spike end.
