"The BD Venom LT Tech is an awesome, fun, versatile ice tool. I've used it on a couple Spring snow climbs as a secondary tool, especially for dual high-dagger use. It's awesome for this because it's so light weight therefore I don't regret bringing a second tool. And, with Summer coming, this is a perfect lightweight summer 14er axe (that pairs well with the Neve Aluminum Crampons) for a versatile, lightweight, no fuss, kit. I also really appreciate the ability to become the handle for the avy shovel, this is SO awesome, so I don't have to carry the handle too. Finally, the hammer/adze conversion is an awesome and versatile set up where I can "have both" at once. Awesome ice axe!!! Thanks for creating and selling it!"
"Great alternative to the petzl gully. Slightly heavier but being able to use a hammer and adze makes it more superior. Haven't used yet but sure it will shine!"
"What a fantastic tool, totally transformes your climbing approach, always with me in the mountains."
"After loosing my Gulley, I wanted to give something new a try, and this checked all the boxes! Great tool!"
