Black Diamond's durable, no-frills aluminum shovel with a T-handle and fixed shaft, the Lynx is a simple and streamlined snow mover. Stripped to the basics, the Lynx shovel makes an ideal companion for ultralight ski tours and alpine climbs that require you to dig a bivy high on the route. The durable aluminum blade easy withstands the abuse that the big mountains dish out, and the compact, fixed-length handle takes up minimum space in your pack.
