CLIMBING TOOLS: quick cheap method of racking screws easily.

Great tip, thanks.

@evansharp1 ahh gotcha, I thought you were talking about a rating for the clips, not the rout difficulties.

[aikidophreak]

@evansharp1 I gave no ratings, I m just saying that "I" find that those plastic clips are too brittle to do the job they were designed for; hold gear; thus each time I broke on I could choose to replace it. Which makes them more expensive than biners. Comparing that to a helmet is stupid because helmets are designed to crack and dissipate forces so you head receives less force. In the last 16 years I have busted 3 helmets, and Im still alive to anonymously heckle at you on the internet.

@evansharp1 I disagree with your statement that it is cheaper. Those plastic clips are crap. I have broken two of them. one when I was working an M6 chimney and I slip hard against my hip and it broke spilling 4 ice screws(three of them never were recovered), and the other was on ice and it just snapped after I fell on a WI 5, luckily it has not carrying any gear. I have never broke an caribiner and the biners are cheaper than the plastic ice clips at $8 a pop, you can find wire biners $6 ea

True. A lot of us have tonnes of old biners lying around. Nice little idea especially for winter with gloves.

@evansharp1 Not if you already own the biners
