The Ice Clipper provides quick organization and easy access to ice gear.
Good
I'm not sure why anyone thinks 2-3 screws is the limit. I
normally rack 5 BD turbo express screws on each clipper. You have to put each
screw into the clipper facing the same way and they stack fairly close together.
Other screws may not stack as well, but then that might be a good reason to use
the BDs. The only downside with these is that getting to a screw which is not on
top is not easy. It is much easier to put your short screws on a third clipper.
This is far superior to using a standard biner on a gear loop since it makes one
handed racking and unracking very easy.
Use it for what it's worth
Sure these things don't hold tons of screws, but then if you climb with that
many, use a regular sling. That should be climbing 101. But throw a couple of
these clips on your harness, and you can hold 4-5 on each side (depending on
type), and that should be enough for typical routes. Also, good to clip your
tools to.
simple but effective design
I find it works well for up
to 4 screws. Yes, it is basically a plastic carabiner, but the rubber strap
secures it so it stays put while you're clipping/unclipping the screw (unlike a
'biner). Plus, it is 1/2 the price of a biner!
Just A plastic Biner
The BD Ice Clipper is a great idea if you only climb with 2 or 3 screws. If it
held more IĘd gladly pay double for it.
