The Black Diamond Venom Ice Axe is the choice for technical mountaineering routes where performance, light weight and durability are paramount.

A modular piolet with a curved shaft, the Venom plunges into snow cleanly, self arrests and provides solid placements in steep alpine ice. The interchangeable pick design gives you a choice between the Venom Classic Pick and the Venom Tech Pick, which has a more technical reverse curve. Both pick options self-arrest on snow.

The Venom Hammer is equipped with a Tech Pick.

The Venom Adze comes with the Classic Pick.

A Lockdown Leash is included with both.

*Adze and Hammer models sold separately.
