Choosing your ice screws

Speck ice screws are distinguished by several technical features:

  • High-strength steel: Our ice screws are made of stainless steel, which gives them excellent corrosion resistance, a major advantage for use in high-mountain and wet environments.
  • Quick screw-in system: Thanks to their ergonomic design, our broaches can be screwed in quickly, even when wearing gloves, for fast, safe installation in emergencies.
  • Sharpened teeth: The teeth on our pins are optimized for rapid penetration of ice, reducing the effort required to secure them. This saves energy on long ascents.
  • Lightweight: Designed to take up minimal space in your backpack, our ice screws are ultra-light, without compromising strength or reliability.
  • Different lengths available: We offer several lengths to suit different ice types and conditions, offering flexibility and versatility for your mountain outings.

When to use an ice screw?

Ice screws are mainly used for ascents over icy terrain or in icefalls. They are essential to the climber's progress and protection. In the event of a fall, they provide solid, reliable anchorage points, limiting the risks.

Whether you're climbing an ice wall or securing a belay, ice screws are an essential part of every mountaineer's equipment.

How to use your ice screws

For optimum safety, we recommend that you :

  • Regularly check the condition of your ice screws, especially the teeth and smoothness of the screwing mechanism.
  • Always wear suitable gloves when handling your broaches, especially in extremely cold conditions.
  • Install your broaches in compact, bubble-free ice to maximize their efficiency.
