An ice screw is a piece of climbing equipment used in ice climbing to create an anchor in frozen surfaces, such as ice-covered rock or glaciers. It is a metal screw with a sharp tip and spiral threads, designed to be drilled into the ice. The ice screw provides a secure point for attaching the climber’s rope and harness, helping to prevent falls. Ice screws come in various lengths and sizes, depending on the conditions and the thickness of the ice. They are essential for safe ice climbing, allowing climbers to anchor themselves while ascending or descending.
