Simulation of a lead fall with a 150 pound log onto a 13 cm ice screw

It's a cool way to spend a wasted afternoon. But I hate to say, it looks like the log makes contact with the ground and breaks, so you can't draw any conclusions about the screw "holding". If your climber did what the log did, I think you'd be unhappy with the result!

way to make sure that you cant ever use that rope or ice screw or anything in that setup again

Very scientific!

the log hit the floor before the rope pulled tight?!
