Review 4 out of 5 stars

Review by: forkliftdaddy, 2004-08-17


Placing and removing these are dreamy. The thread design is great. The handle is a luxury when you're pumped. Racking can be a bit of a hassle, but take a bit of care and it works fine. Wouldn't want a whole rack of these, but a few are nice for specific placements.

Never thought much of this product until this past winter, I had heard all the stories about difficulty in racking and such but the 2 units that I bought this past winter I racked independently on a BD clipper. The definitely rack in a very peculiar way and you have to pay attention to this, I actually practiced this before ever setting out with them. As far as placing and cleaning they are equal to if not better than BD’s best screw. Especially since they require very little ice prep to get them started.

Not a bad screw but the handle makes racking a pain and can get caught up with other gear.
Good for belays or in narrow runnels where other screw hangars may hit obstructions.

This is the best ice screw I have ever used!
It bites well in hard water ice and goes in faster than any other screw. Usually placing protection on lead is the crux of ice climbing, but with the 360° handle it's so fast that you don't need to do runouts anymore.
Always carry a couple of these for the crux.
