Great Ice Screw Holster

by KrisBrauer on 03/31/2020

Pros

Easy to use one handed

Top "shelf" works great

Cons

Needs a bit of modification to work perfectly

Familiarity

I’ve used it a bunch

This screw carrier is really good for use on a harness or on a backpack. The wide base and substantial clip makes it easy to clip onto any 1" webbing strap on a backpack, but it also works very well on most harnesses.

For racking ice screws its great, I've been able to remove and rack ice screws blind and the top shelf holds screws out of the way. The only downside is that it's really hard to remove from harnesses. To make it a bit easier, file the rib below the clip down a bit so that that it doesn't catch when removing the carrier.
