Kinda pricey. Isn't it just a couple of overpriced carabiners connected? Has anyone used one and seen definite advantages to justify the price? I also wonder why you'd want so many screws on one side -I usually split them on left/right.

I have ben using the Simond ice screw rack for quite a while and have been very happy with it. Its a lot stronger than the plastic ice clippers which tend to shift around and donot hold as many screws. Plus if you snag the plastic ones they can rip out the flimsy fabric dedicated to holding them in place, and its good bye screws. True, things do get a bit heavy on one side of your harness. I try to offset this by stacking most of my other gear on the other side . I also usually hang my longer belay screws on the other side, either on a biner or a plastic clipper. The simond device hang very nicely clipped through one of your gear loops. Hope this helps
