Category: Climbing Protection

This snow anchor from SMC has a cable permanently attached at the center, and is designed to be placed either horizontally or vertically, depending upon the snow conditions encountered.  The reinforced striking area prevents "mushrooming" of the end when pounding the picket into a vertical placement.  Shorter length pickets like this are ideal for firmer snow conditions.  Snow conditions vary widely and the strength of various types of placements is difficult to predict.  There are many different trade-offs with different types of snow anchor designs, depending upon the circumstances.  The right tool for the right job.  Just like everything else in climbing, proper instruction and practice in a safe environment is essential.

Ava F. ★★★★★

The cable attachment makes placement adjustments quick even with gloves on, and the anchor held solid when I tested it horizontally in a softer snow layer.

Zoe ★★★★★

Used this on a mixed snow/ice slope last weekend and the cable made quick work of clipping in while wearing gloves. The option to place it horizontally when the snow was softer saved us a ton of time. Solid piece of gear.

Adam ★★★★★

I love how versatile this picket is—being able to place it horizontally or vertical really helps in variable snow conditions. The cable attachment feels solid and secure.
