Ice Screws for Mountaineering, an essential safety equipment

During your next mountaineering adventure, don't forget your essential ice screws. Easy to use and lightweight, they will serve as anchor points for clipping your quickdraws and setting up your belays. With your crampons and ice axes, your mountaineering gear is now complete. Drilling into the ice and using it as a real climbing wall becomes child's play. Just be sure to screw your ice screw in the right spot, without weakening the ice.

Length, composition, strength... Choose your ice screws with caution!

Ice is a very strong component, but it has weak points, so learn not to fracture it. Depending on the situation and the structure of the ice, choosing the right screw is crucial. The length of the screw and the size of the anchor holes are characteristics that vary according to the intended use. Well anchored in the ice, a properly used screw won't let you down. The latest innovations in safety systems have revolutionised the practice of mountaineering and ice climbing. Today's ice screws feature efficient rotating systems with colour-coded handles for quick placement with confidence.
