Often regarded as one of the fastest and most easily placed ice screws around, the Black Diamond Express ice screw bites into ice for quick and easy placement.

  • Large crank knob is easier to grab than on previous models yet still offers uninterrupted 360° motion without the use of an ice tool
  • Foldable, color-coded crank provides quick length identification
  • Stainless-steel hanger is lighter than previous models, won't rust and reduces melt-out on sunny routes
  • Large second clip-in point helps manage belay organization

Please note: Black Diamond products can only be shipped to the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Made in USA.

    Comments about Black Diamond Express Ice Screw:

    These ice screws are super fast to insert and extract. The small handle that flips out makes this possible. However, when wearing thick, bulky gloves, the handle may seem a bit small. Regardless, BD really perfected ice screws with this one.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Black Diamond Express Ice Screw:

      I have found BD ice screws to be very easy and fast to place. They stay sharp. In fact there the most used ice screw I've seen used, there the standard. There expensive, but worth it, when your hanging out.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Title pretty much sums it up. My number one choice - I also have Simonds (harder to rack) and Omega Pacific.
