The unique inside AND outside taper of the Omega Mountaineering CR-MO ice screw combined with ultra-sharp teeth yield a screw that is a dream to place and makes for almost automatic ice core removal. The critically designed threads are a result of years of research and development. The parabolic shaped threads achieve some of the highest pull out strengths possible today. Omega screws are precision milled from the finest 4130 Cr-Mo, heat treated for extra strength and polished to shining perfection. Each screw is carefully Nickel Plated for long term durability and to minimize friction. These are not some cheap disposable ice screws. The hangers are stamped from 4130 CrMo steel and are large enough for placement ease even with mittens, something you'll appreciate when you're 60 feet out and gripped. As with any Omega product, the CR-MO ice screw is produced under the tightest quality control. We know you have far more to worry about on ice than your gear.

All Omega Mountaineering ice screws come fitted with the new Omega Mountaineering Knob. The new "coffee grinder" handle makes insertion and retraction a breeze.
