Description
The new 360° screw can benefit all ice climbers. In situations where safety depends on speedy screw placement (crevasse rescue or steep ice) the 360’s sharp bite and easy starting are quite reassuring. When obstructions of rock or ice prevent a normal fixed hanger’s rotation, the 360’s handle may be lifted away from the surface and turned freely. The 360’s super-slick finish makes it very difficult for ice to clog its core. The 360’s efficiency makes it possible to place an ice screw where and when you want to, not just where and when you are able to.
Grivel Thread The inverted thread increases extraction resistance. The hydrodynamic design ensures easy penetration even into the coldest and hardest ice.

superb. go in FAST, start well, lots of placing options because of the small head. I'm racking up with these. I've used turbo express, americana, and other screws. There are by far the best. some trouble racking, but it's worth it.

These are by far my favorite screw. They have been slightly updated by making the handle a bit stiffer so it stays folded down when racked, mostly eliminating racking problems. They are a breeze to place, and the hanger will take two biners. I own four and will probably be buying a few more. Actual usable screw length is slightly less than the stated length. My 17's are about 16cm.

This thing goes in like butter. Looses one point for racking but it really wasn't all that bad. I am going to get one more.

Best ice screw used so far. Bites easily and threads well too. Kind of a pain in the butt racking for the second I think but an excellent screw nonetheless!!!!

Best screw on the market, hands down. Bites instantly in nearly any knid of ice. Racking is not as clean as traditional hanger screws, but it's not that bad, and the small bent hanger means you never need to worry about cleaning ice around your placement to get the screw to seat.
