Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"A long snow route with a couple pitches of ice is the hardest type of climbing to select an appropriate tool. You can either have a good ice tool that sucks for self arrest or a standard ice axe that can barely climb a pitch of easy ice. Not anymore. The Black Diamond Venom is an ice axe that's designed self arrest and plunge into the snow easily but offer good ice performance. The interchangeable, classically curved pick is designed to provide solid placements while ice climbing and to self arrest securely. The Venom's slight bend at the top of the shaft increases vertical performance without sacrificing the ability to plant the shaft in the snow. A perfect alpine leash, the Lockdown, is included with this versatile axe."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"A modular piolet with a curved shaft for technical mountaineers, the Black Diamond Venom plunges into snow, 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 securely self-arrest on snow. The Venom Hammer is equipped with a Tech Pick and the Venom Adze comes with the Classic Pick. A Lockdown Leash is included with both. CEN-B certified. Which Ice Axe is right for you?"
