The most important feature of an ice screw, in my opinion, is ease of placement. That's why This earns my pick. I suggesting getting the "Lite" version because the weight adds up. I'm often bringing 12-14 screws with me. Going "Lite" will save about 350 grams on your rack. My rack contains: 1 x 7cm, 1 x 10cm, 3 x 13cm, 4 x 16cm, 3 x 19cm, and 2 x 22 cm.
