Ice Screws Display

October 2025 - I took apart the old ice screws display that was at the Phoenix Rock Gym, then rebuilt the display and put it at the AZ Hiking Shack in Phoenix. Its really cool seeing a few hundred ice tools all in one view! Big THANKS to Melisa Mills for helping me switch out the display panels, putting in the Ice, and taking away the Nuts.

The orange colored ice wart hog screw donated by Pete Takeda is made by Mountain Technologies in the 1970s.


Through a extensive piton study by John Middendorf the ice piton listed as being made in 1900 is being changed to being created the earliest time being 1918. The previous owner of the piton stated that it is indeed 1900, but due to the perfect eye the piton has, which is a Fiechtl first design from the years 19-teens, this piton eye had to be created closer to 1920.
