Ice climbing Techniques - Ice screw placement, anchors and V-threads | Petzl Tech Tips 

Petzl many thanks for these videos. Clear and instructive, right to the point. Keep making them.

Really well produced

Great Video!! Perfect explanation and camera shot angles, thanx for posting 👍🏼

This is insane! I like it!

Ok , i am ready now...hold my beer

Great job 👏

thanks that was very helpful

Great video👌👌

I'd be tangled up in ropes in about 10 minutes.

Incredible

best movie ever good help to unterstand thanks

I don't know why im watching this. I have no intention of ive climbing at anypoint. But yet im watching this video.

great! thanks.

Very Good 👌👌❤

nice

LOVE

(i'm not a climber & saw this video) 2:48 i was like "yeah put your rope on an ice screw, that'd be safe" 3:48 "WTF is happening?"

no sliding x?

At 05m25s, tension seems to be distributed on both the V-thread and on the back up ice screw (if not, it is quite close, even if it seems to be ok because the climber is pulling the rope to the left...). The purpose of this is to confirm that the v-thread can hold 100% of the weight of a climber, but by having a back-up, just in case; if it held the 1st climber, then the 2nd climber can remove the back-up ice screw and do its descent. I agree that you want to avoid a shock if the v-thread fails by keeping a minimum "gap"...But I think that 2 inches could be a good compromise. At 05m53s...is the climber is putting its life on just one ice screw? maybe he had put some stopping knot on the rope below him? but for sure, he is not holding the rope at all! That being said, standing on a very confortable ledge back-up on 1 ice screw is ok with me...but it is sure not recommanded. what do you think guys? Thank anyway petzl, i like all your videos!

Omg, your rope freezing up in a multipitch rappel. That's some nightmare fuel

Noob question : When the climbers come down, do they leave gear behind ??? Like the climber that was setting many anchors along the way on his way up, do those anchors stay behind when he comes down ?

Does anyone know which jacket the guy in the 'Building a V thread' (from 4:15) section is wearing?!

Screws hold better at 100deg reduces the bend u get when at 90deg

do you have to do a multi rope climb for ice or can you do single rope?

I want to baughtht it .....plz tell me

Кто этим ребятам поставил дизлайк?

3 cams for a traditional anchor but only 2 ice screws in much less stable medium? seems counter intuitive to me. maybe a v thread + a screw, but just two screws? I don't even top rope off just two screws.

"And a healthy dose of..." there were many other also-correct ways to finish that sentence.

5:20 he's attached in only one point, is that ok?

How much ice screw cost?

What to do with the tools if they are separated from the iceberg

If you would like to add fun moments in this list from our climber group in Montreal, go see this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CP1TrCn5b74.html

Todo OK menos el rappell,

he should have a carabinar attached to the ice screw in case he looses it while sticking in ice - a common mistake beginners do.

do they come back to retrieve the ice screws...or do spring climbers go.."hey bruh....check it out...found me some ice anchors dude......!!"🤠

The biner to biner connections at the masterpoint seem like an obvious no no

Clip a biner on another biner is not the optimal choice. In the rare but possible event of first biner fails, it will also take out the guy who clipped onto the second biner. Sorry to see Petzl did not take the safest practice under this circumstance.

5:33 and leave 50 dollars worth of gear there? Nah

its just too difficult for me even to watch it, seems like some competition with bunch of ropes, bolts, cabs .so ice climbing not for me definately

I climb ice. This video is a waste of time. Learn from someone who knows what they’re talking about.
