The Petzl Laser Sonic Ice Screw features a unique rotating hanger which makes it one of the easiest screws on the market to wind into position and reduces the chances of dropping the screw. Once the screw is established in the ice simply crank on the hanger until it is fully placed. You can even place this screw with it already clipped in to a rope or sling as the hanger rotates freely even with a crab attached.

The Laser Sonic used to have a reputation for being a pain to rack as the hangers tended to catch and snag on each other if clipped racked on crabs. To solve this Petzl now include an Ice flute racking tube which can be clipped to your harness for quick and easy access, plus giving your screw threads maximum protection. The Petzl Laser Sonics are an unusual but superb ice screw and an excellent choice for the committed icefall climber.

Petzl Laser Sonic Ice Screw Features:

  • Integrated hanger/handle is always ready for rapid, easy placement
  • Aggressive teeth cut quickly into the hardest ice for easy hole starts
  • Finely polished threads and surface for smooth installation/removal
  • High pull-out resistance
  • Hanger hole is large enough for two carabiners
  • Reverse taper for reduced friction and rapid placements
  • Curved crank arm allows it to clear uneven ice surfaces
  • The ICEFLUTE allows for quick access to the ice screws while also providing protection during transport.

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Petzl Laser Sonic Ice Screw Review

Reviewer: Tim Howes, Bristol   (27-5-2011)

Great screw for the price (!). Not sure about the usefulness of the plastic flute case, but these go in rapido and seem solid. Only used 18cm model, for backing up mixed routes/skiing, no experience of using them on technical ice.


5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Petzl Laser Sonic Ice Screw Review

Reviewer: Nick Smith, Sheffield   (5-10-2010)

Great ice screws, with a unique hanger/handle design that makes for fairly quick placements. I prefer these to the more expensive 'fold-out' handle designs from some other manufacturers, as the Laser Sonic's are less fiddly and easier to rack on your harness.

I don't really rate the 'ice flute' racking system, although they are a safe way to transport sharp screws in luggage. Racking the screws on clippers on your harness is much easier when actually climbing.
