Venom Hammer Ice Axe

It's hard to know which tool to use when climbing long, technical couloirs. Part traditional piolet and part technical ice tool, the Black Diamond Venom Hammer penetrates into ice thanks to a curved shaft that offers plenty of clearance, while the comfortable grip and included leash provide peace of mind when self-arresting becomes more of a possibility. The Venom Hammer comes with a chromoly steel tech pick and is fitted with a traditional spike at the handle for doing more traditional mountaineering routes.
