MSR Coyote Snow Pickets Snow Anchors

MSR Coyote Snow Pickets Snow Anchors description

From the world's highest peaks to snowy local playgrounds, the Coyote Snow Picket Snow Anchors are probably the most sought after MSR product out there, offering maximum strength and security for professionals and fun-seekers.These lightweight anchors are made with heat-treated aircraft-grade aluminum to minimize weight and maximize strength. The bend-resistant T-shaped Coyote design exposes more surface area to the snow ensuring a more secure anchor. MSR added attachment points at three inch intervals to make using the Coyote as convenient as possible.

Bottom Line: The sturdy Coyote Snow Picket Snow Anchor offers the strength and security you need for crevasse rescues, expedition travel, or just playing in the snow.

Slides right into the snow and can take a descent beating from your feet or from the hammer of your ice axe. It is aluminum so it is somewhat soft and the metal will dent when hitting it into very hard ice conditions. Overall very satisfied with the product.

We used these snow pickets in a winter mountaineering class I took. The look a lot heavier than they look. I was surprised how little they weighed and how much abuse they took. I haven't needed one since the class but was impressed by them and how much they can be used for.
