Expert Review
I made the switch to these 2 years ago from Petzl and these are it! The diameter of these screws are huge. Meaning you'll hit your V-threads way easier and you can rebore old screw holes. These are also light. I like the steels because I climb in NH where ice can be wet, cold, or just tough to get the screws in. The ultra-lights will freeze in very wet ice as a warning!
