Without
question, these are the easiest and fastest placing
ice screws to ever sink their way into ice. This
year we improved our renowned Express by redesigning
the tooth geometry for easier starts, adding larger
crank knobs that are easier to grab and augmenting
the hanger with a second clip-in point for belay
organization. Quick to bite and easy to crank in,
the Express screw features a tapered tube where the
teeth cut a hole just larger than the tube itself,
for less friction and faster placements. The foldable
speed-drive knob is color-coded for quick length
identification and offers uninterrupted 360-degree
motion. New stainless steel hangers are lighter than
previous models, won’t rust and reduce melt-out
on sunny routes. The Express is built in five lengths
to accommodate a variety of ice conditions. All sizes
of screws are now CE-certified. Patented.
