Ice climbers know how vulnerable their screws are to damage. Sharp points dull easily, and threads can develop nicks and imperfections. This damage results in a screw being difficult to place at a time when it is needed most. Spiroll® Rope protectors, cut to length, wrap around ice screws to protect BOTH points and threads, giving your ice screws that 'brand new feeling' for as long as possible. Especially helpful when transporting ice screws, protecting both metal and your pack's interior.
