Black Diamond Raven Ultra Ice Axe description The Black Diamond Raven Ultra Ice Axe is super-light for fast-and-light alpine climbing and ski mountaineering. Though it weighs only 11.9oz in a 50cm length, the Raven Ultra is still completely functional and easily stands up to the abuse alpine tools take on a regular basis. | Bottom Line: Lighten your load with the Raven Ultra. |
This tool is a great 3rd tool
Garrett Grove: 
Extremely lightweight and easy to take with you when you are debating the necessity of a 3rd. The sharp end plunges right into packed snow for various belays that are needed. Head grabs snow well, overall a great tool.
Good, not perfect
camerona91: 
I use my Raven Ultra as my general mountaineering axe and sometimes as a second tool on steep snow climbs. I've had it for 1.5 years. It works very well within its intended purpose. I like the ergonomic feel of the head. I find the adze adequate for cutting ice. The shaft and head have both been very durable so far. I don't really like the spike design. I worry about its bite in ice and it tends to fill with snow. If I went back in time I would probably buy the Raven Pro or a Grivel Nepal SA instead. I do still really like my raven ultra: it is clean cut, simple, light and effective.
