a great alpine tool
By KBVerified Buyer from Boulder, CO on 7/19/2006
Pros:
Lightweight, Nice balance, Rugged
Best Uses:
Mountaineering

Comments about Black Diamond Venom Hammer:

Tested this tool on a moderate alpine snow gully with some ice forming. Tool performs well, nice balance and overall weight, and having a straight shaft was nice for plunging into the sun-softened snow at the final headwall where the cornice had broken away.
