Product Description

Snow Anchors are pretty simple items, but Omega Pacific went above and beyond to make a basic tool even better. The powder-coated, high-visibility yellow paint helps you find your fixed lines in a whiteout. Omega Pacific also rounded off all the edges, so these Snow Anchors don't tear up your pack or other gear.

Dow Williamsonce you own...

Voted 4/5

a couple of these, something you never need to buy more of in your lifetime really. But a rep handed me this and I have to admit, smooth edges and color for no more price make this the best choise for those of you starting out. I still prefer trad pickets over tubes.

Agree again. My buddy made a few of these with the standard Hardware store T-bar stock. He gave the end a little point, and put in a whole bunch of holes. You can use the holes to clip to your pack/daisy chain, and keep them from getting lost. Having paid next to nothing for them, I didn't mind getting a little rough pounding them into harder snow.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
