Terrier Ice Piton

The Terrier creates placement options in water ice, frozen turf and thin cracks, providing security to winter climbers on marginal ground. The small size means it can be used in the most marginal terrain: small turf blobs, thin ice smears and thin seams are all potential terrier placements. A shorter handle means that leverage is reduced in places where a bulldog would be at risk of pulling out.

The design features from the Bulldog are present in miniature form: An easy strike spine for quick and accurate placement, a handle which facilitates easy extraction for your second, extendable sling for reducing drag and 15kN rating make the Terrier a piece of gear no mixed climber can afford to leave at home.

Pairing the Terrier with a Bulldog gives you a wide range of innovative placement options in the winter environment.

• Size gives high security in certain placement types.
• Ice pick profile allows driving into frozen turf, ice or cracks.
• Large hammering area makes for easier placements.
• Long handle creates leverage for easy removal.
• Extendable sling gives versatile and easily extended placements.
• Lightening holes reduce weight.
• Achieves 15kN in lab tensile testing, giving high levels of security.
