The SMC I Picket has a peerless strength-to-weight ratio, as well as an unmatched practical design.
Perforated for weight savings and extra holding power
I-shape provides strength and extra holding power
Tapered sharp end for ease of placement in harder conditions
Holes lighten stake, but allow for freeze-through as well
Beveled edges on clip-in holes to protect ropes and webbing

Accurate assessment of snow conditions and their potential for change during the day/night is critical in determining correct picket placement. In hard packed snow or ice, place the picket as a stake, driving the pointed end into the snow. Angle the picket (approx. 15°) back from the direction of pull and clip a carabiner into the hole closest to the surface of the snow. In softer snow and warming conditions, bury the picket as a deadman. Place the I Picket horizontally and perpendicular to the direction of pull, clip into the center hole and dig a slot in the snow so that the runner/rope will be pulled in as direct a line as possible.

Available in either 24'' or 36'' lengths, weighing 13.6 oz. (385 g) and 21 oz. (595 g)
   

"Shop's business grows despite remote locale
By BRETT FRENCH
Of The Gazette Staff
SILVER GATE - Just outside his office window, Jay Schifferdecker can see the aquamarine gash of The Killer Pillar, a 30-foot frozen waterfall he likes to ice climb. Out the back door, there is a Nordic ski trail he glides on almost every day, snaking into the snow-muffled silence of the Beartooth Mountains."
