How many ice screws do you need for a full multi pitch ice route ? planning my first grade v route such as smiths , curtain or Hadrian’s and could do with knowing how many are needed ?
done plenty of grade iii & iv and never needed more than 6 screws but they not been multipitch ice
im guessing 3 for each belay & another 4/5 runners ? So is 10/ 11 enough ?
also I’m assuming point 5 and the grade v gully’s don’t need as many as they will have rock pro ?
What’s your rack preference for these multipitch ice routes ?
