WTB: small titanium pitons

Lmk what you have! Looking for some lightweight titanium Pitons to bring on Alpine routes. 

Ideally looking for lost arrow size ish

Bump

Bump!

Not having much luck going russian, eh?  Gonna tote steel?  

I have some titanium pins, unfortunately I'm about a week and a half away.

I'll look when I get home

No worries, my guess is I won't be climbing any ice in the next few weeks. I'd love to see what you have! 

Why is it you seek titanium, specifically?  Just idle curiosity.  People doing different things and different trains of thought is interesting banter

First of all I should say that Iron is a better material for a piton hands down. That being said, titanium is way lighter. It would be nice to have some real light pins with me so I could forget about them in my pack/back of the harness until I needed them. I'm curious to see if they would perform well enough for some Alpine mixed routes or potentially bail anchor material.

Cool.  I've def left solid kb bail anchors in the mountains.  Sometimes bad things happen.  Good to be prepared

Bump

Would Ti beaks be of any interest?  Not exactly priced for leavers but they would be like on the harness.

Maybe! Send me some photos and let me know how much you were selling them for!

After looking at my pin collection, I've realized that I'd like to hold on to them for awhile longer.

Good luck in your search

Also, have you considered Camp Iron Hawks at 31g a piece, they are half the weight of a bugaboo, and you can often find a crack that small to whack them into. (I know you said Lost Arrows, just wondering about your thought process.)

I'm looking for Pitons specifically, less so beaks. I already have a couple beaks, and some kb's. I figured a titanium kb won't be that much weight savings, but in the bugaboo size it would be significant. I have bugaboos to but they are heavy and it would be nice to get mt hands on some Lighter pins for bailing, no other pro situations, etc. 

You can pound in nuts with your pick, too.  Dont chop the cable
