BD Ultralight Ice Screws steel bit separating from aluminum screw tube..
|
No recall? |
|
I assumed those tips were threaded onto the shaft the way a steel cylinder barrel is threaded into an aluminum head on an air cooled engine. I guess I was wrong. |

Garry Reisswrote: it isn't a big safety issue, the weight is holding of the aluminum part. if it's your last screw and it fail while your trying to place it , it can be really bad for sure. but it would be really bad luck |
Double Jwrote: I use almost exclusively Petzl light ones and have not had any issues. I have carried 17 on PT at Poko, though I did not use them, they boosted my confidence, and I will do it again. I have huge respect for climbers who place protection and do not believe in those who take pride in running it out. You actually need more strength and endurance to stop and place an extra screw. I personally know two very strong climbers who were severely injured because they did not place protection on easy terrain. Accidents, happen. Enjoy the entire game, including stoping to place an extra screw. Back to the topic - Petzl light screws really made this feasible. The weight savings are amazing. |
Eriks Roznerswrote: Well shit. If you’re gonna carry 17, at least place one or two! ;) |

PT has a bolted belay after P1. P2 the buisness is short. P3 is easy so I would probobly carry 12 but everyone is different. |
