Dru Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 I got the charlet sno-walker. it is lighter than the grivel air tech or the bd raven. decent head. big con so far: the head is sharp-edged. im gonna have to file or tape some sharp corners on the head-shaft juncture to make it comfy carry. oh yes, its french and cheaper than grivel or bd at MEC. and it shaft plunges much better than my quarks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodchester Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Is it lighter than the BD Raven Pro? The one thing about the BD is the head is desgined for carrying comfort, and it works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pro weighs 100g less, for whatever that's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 the pro is too light it's a bitch to get it to stick the raven is as light as I'd go, and I like mine (course I don't climb) so it's moot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
