Petzl Laser Speed Ice Screw 17 cm | Ultra-High Performance with Integrated Crank

Discover the Petzl Laser Speed 17 cm Ice Screw

Designed for ice climbers who value speed, control, and reliability, the Laser Speed 17 cm combines a robust steel tube with a precisely engineered thread. The integrated folding crank provides a secure grip and an optimized lever arm, helping you turn the screw more efficiently in cold, demanding ice conditions. The sharpened tip with three teeth is tailored to bite into ice smoothly, minimizing resistance during placement.

Weight-conscious without compromising durability, this screw uses a steel tube paired with select components to balance robustness and weight. A color coded length indicator makes it easy to spot the correct size at a glance, so you can focus on your ascent rather than hunting for the right wrench or tool. The compact plate is designed to ease screwing in sculpted ice, while the folding, integrated crank stays out of the way when not in use, yet is ready to deliver leverage when you need it.
