I have been using a pair of the straight shafted carbon fiber black prophets for the last three years and I love them. On technical terrain I found them incredibly precise. The pick is great giving a secure hold and easy cleaning. In an alpine setting these tools really prove their worth. Light weight, straight shafted, and an excellent adze. For technical use in an alpine setting I couldn''t imagine a better tool. Oh, and if you can find them they are generally very cheap since they are considered and "older" model.

These are getting to be pretty hard to find as they are phased out. I got them on sale, but I definately don't think I'm sacraficing quality for price. Most people go for the sleeker carbon fiber option of the Cobra, but I feel that these work very nicely. They've been rated highly in most every test conducted. I used them on vertical ice at vail, and for steep mountaineering on miscellaneous 14ers. I never had a complaint. They sink into the ice solidly, and feel good. If your looking for a damn fine carbon tool, but can't aford the primo models, this is a great option if you can find it around.

Having a pair of CFBP's has been the greatest addition to my climbing gear. The Prophets have an easy, gently swing, and are a wonderfully balanced tool. The curved shaft allows knuckle clearance especially when swinging over a bulge. The tools are light weight and very durable. Most of all, the tools just feel good in hand and have a phenomenal swing. A very pricey tool no doubt, but worth every penny!!
