Ice tool rack - Grivel Carryabiner

If you are going ice-climbing, this all metal ice tool carry for your climbing harness is a gem. Its wide mouth makes it easy to rack ice screws and hold a heavy ice tool. Its all metal construction gives a feeling of security when you have racked all you gear on one holder when cleaning a pitch. When fumbling with frozen hands, thick gloves and awkward tools, the larger size of the opening makes it quick and easy to rack your gear without risking fumbling and dropping expensive equipment.

I have bought and used the plastic ice-tool carry binners from that other well known manufacturer. They are fine. But this Carryabiner is a refinement that adds size, strength and security. On a short duration climb the additional weight is negligible. I now have two of them. The attachment to the harness with just a plastic lug seemed at first a weekness but it has proven to be adequate.
