Racking/unracking sucks

By Jesse Lind Ranked #87 - Ice Climbing March 23, 2010

While this screw may place fast and has the cool pivoting handle, rack and unracking these from ice clippers/caritools is a huge pain. It is not effortless as with BD screws. If your system doesn't use screw-racking devices, then perhaps this wouldn't be an issue. But I do use those systems, and I cannot stand using my one Grivel screw. I bought because I thought the movable handle was a cool idea (it is), but I regretted that purchase ever since and would gladly trade for another BD screw.
