Ice screws... Push the ice screw into the ice while twisting the hanger by hand in a clockwise direction to get it started. Placing the ice screw at waist level allows you to push harder and turn the screw with less effort. Continue to turn the ice screw handle by hand until the hanger nearly contacts the ice surface. Chip away any fractured ice using your ice axe, then turn the ice screw handle the remainder of the way. Align the hanger so that it hangs downward—in the direction of pull.... When possible, choose an ice screw length that will not bottom out on rock underneath the ice. Turning your ice screw into rock will damage the teeth and can fracture the ice. 3, record 1, English, - ice%20screw
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The tubular, hollow-core ice screw ... minimizes fracturing of the ice because the displaced ice moves up into the core of the screw ... it has four cutting teeth and a conical interior. The tip of the cone is the toothed end of the screw. As ice enters the cone it can expand. The core fills with ice chips that are easy to clean out by tapping the screw against a hammer of axe head. 4, record 1, English, - ice%20screw

Broches à glace. [...] Poussez la broche dans la glace en tournant manuellement la patte d'amarrage dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre afin d'amorcer la broche. Le fait de poser une broche à hauteur de taille permet de pousser plus fort et de visser la broche en faisant moins d'efforts. Continuez à tourner la manivelle de la broche manuellement jusqu'à ce que la patte d'amarrage soit presque en contact avec la surface de la glace. Raclez toute glace craquelée à l'aide de votre piolet puis vissez le restant du pas de vis avec la manivelle. Alignez la patte d'amarrage de manière à ce qu'elle soit positionnée vers le bas — dans le sens de la traction. [...] Le fait de visser une broche à glace dans du rocher endommage le trépan et peut fissurer la glace. 6, record 1, French, - broche%20%C3%A0%20glace
