OlympicMtnBoy Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Ice piton would be my guess. Pre-ice screw/snarg/warthog pro. Quote
Jim Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Looks like a Lienert (Swiss) ice piton (1940- 50s?). Hand forged - where did you find that gem? Quote

I thought it was a standard ring angle for rock, but per Jeff Thomas who is twice as smart as me but also the current Mazama historian, say's that he believes it's an antique ice screw. The sharp little flutes/cuts down the sides are for gripping the ice. Bet he remembers when they came out with it, he's almost that old. Quote

Hand forged - where did you find that gem? $6 at the Mountain shop when they were cleaning out the basement after the last ownership change @ 6 years back. They had a full rack of them too. I'd never seen one till then. Quote

I love seeing old gear too. I actually climbed on some scary looking nail like things pounded into the ice in Russia once. Quote
