Technical informations
Instructions
This a good screw for all uses. It’s light and has good handling. I give it four stars since I once had the glued steel tip get left behind in a hole after deconstructing an anchor, leaving me without the use of one screw for the rest of the climb. The ice was very hard and well formed, making for a difficult initial placement. It was also a relatively long belay, which may have caused the tip to freeze in place at the back of the hole. I’ve never had this happen with any other screw before or since, so it’s not a major knock on reliability.
Period.
Replacing a few worn out screws with these. They pretty much place themselves if you hold the too closely to the ice.
Super light, very strong.
Super light and super sharp. Have proven to be fantastic in Colorado ice, still haven’t used them in glacier ice but foreseeing they will perform well.
