dont waste money on screamers just buy a better rope with an impact force < 8kN. Most blue water single ropes are 7.8 kN.

and if I ever put in a 10cm stubby into ice I can see the rock behind, no matter what, it gets a screamer - Even if Will Gadd says differently.

No screamers, save your money. Hmmm. If a screamer keeps that suspect piece from blowing, it may save you a lot of money, and an agonizing rehab. A screamer could - could make the difference between a grounder or walking away. Why not stack the odds more in your favor? The quesion goes a bit further than just screamer versus no screamer. Yates, on their website, suggests that Zipper Screamers are better than their Standard Screamers in ice. My typical ice climbing rack has 3 to 6 Zipper Screamers and 3 or so Standard Screamers. My typical rock climbing rack has 2 or 3 Standard Screamers. Climb Ohn. Wally

Sally and Ben should never go climbing together, lest the world devolve into semantic nonsense.
