The Venom Light Tech Ice Axe is designed for steep alpine terrain travel by foot or ski. It features an ergonomic head with a replaceable Venom Light Tech pick and a forged aluminum head and hammer for lightweight strength. The grooved aluminum shaft improves grip while keeping weight low. An adjustable pommel offers grip versatility and serves as an anchor point. The steel spike is replaceable for secure placement in hard snow and ice. It can be converted to the Venom Light Classic and is compatible with the Black Diamond Transfer Shovel (sold separately).
