Black Diamond Storm Headlamp, Venom Ice Axe and Couloir Harness - REVIEW

Chamonix, the birthplace of mountaineering. There is no better place for a climbing trip. As we considered what gear to bring weight, size and versatility were huge considerations as the threat of excess baggage fees loomed over us. As such, I was super excited to acquire a few new Black Diamond products and was stoked to try out the Venom Ice Axe, the Storm headlamp and the Colouir harness. Being a hybrid axe, the Venom seemed to have the versatility we were looking for and because the Colouir is lightweight and easy to stash in an already full pack it easily made the cut. Since we weren’t intending on doing any night missions or early morning starts in the dark (no alpine starts needed when a lift takes you to 3800m), but really you never know in the mountains, the Storm seemed like a great choice for the trip.
