Originally I was turned on to the HMG Alpine size Ice Screw Cannon by its high capacity (12 screws +), lightweight & durable EPX 200 material, and the options to throw in a few extra screws or other tools. When loaded, there is plenty of room inside for an extra pick and front point or two, file, and toe/heel bail. On route, I found it as a good place to throw an extra pair of gloves or two or some snacks, and a great place for ~40m tag line or throw bag. I weighed it in at under 100g, lighter than lower-capacity single-purpose sleeves.
I've also found a use for it in the summer: to hold tools and hardware when updating old routes and replacing bolts and anchors, as well as a convenient sack to hold a windshell, mini headlamp, some snacks, buff, sunglasses, and other personal items for moderate-length multi-pitch routes.
We use these for storage in the gear room as well as out on the wall for our ice climb courses. The high-vis fabric is great and super durable. The Alpine size is perfect for bigger objectives, we love the smaller add-ons for the basic courses that only need 2-4 screws. Looking forward to using them for seasons to come.
The ice screw cannon is absolutely amazing. Before HMG, I’d tried 2 or 3 other brands and honestly hated all of them. The screw cannon is both impressively functionally designed, durably made, and comes in rad stylish colors. I’m stoked on it!
I have now used the screw cannon several times and find it very useful. I load it with screws and then put my gear in the center. Once I've arrived at the cliff/climb, i can stuff a layer in it and clip it to my harness! Very practical and useful!
Super durable and easy to use. The cannon is thoughtfully crafted and makes for a versatile tool when out climbing!
