<description>Simond Spider HMS + BLC&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Write your question here... Is the clip the kind that permanently retains the carabiner on your gear, like in climbing gyms? If it is I want lots.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Cheers</description>

<description>Simond Anaconda Cup Ice Tool&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Is there any difference in swinging momentum between this and the Naja? I would like to get one (not one pair!) of each the Naja and Anaconda. I&#x26;#39;m not really looking to do WI but more mixed routes. Friends think I should only get a pair Najas. What would you do?</description>

<description>Simond Ocelot Hyper Light Ice Axe&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I&#x26;#39;m looking for a general-use mountaineering axe, and was wondering how the Ocelot compares to the Black Diamond Raven.  The axe will see use in New Hampshire and Maine during winter ascents.  Any advantage to getting one over the other?  I&#x26;#39;m not familiar with Simond...what is their reputation?</description>

<description>Simond Spider Rocky Fil Quickdraw&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Has anyone used these, do you like them? They look like they would be great for sport climbing, it looks like the straight nose would make it really easy to clip the bolts.</description>

<title>Kinda pricey. Isn&#x26;#39;t it just a couple of overpriced carabiners</title>

<description>Simond Ice Screw Rack&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Kinda pricey. Isn&#x26;#39;t it just a couple of overpriced carabiners connected? Has anyone used one and seen definite advantages to justify the price? I also wonder why you&#x26;#39;d want so many screws on one side -I usually split them on left/right.</description>

<title>How is the handle diameter compared to e.g. the Petzl Aztar?</title>
<link>http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Simond-Anaconda-Cup-Ice-Tool/SMD0005M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_29182#question_29182</link>
<description>Simond Anaconda Cup Ice Tool&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;How is the handle diameter compared to e.g. the Petzl Aztar?  Is the handle material grippy or slippy?  The leash looks like it closes around the wrist just with velcro; true?  And it looks like it attaches to the knob just with the metal fitting, or is there some kind of indent there that helps keep the two together?  Is that hole through the shaft by the knob all the way through the shaft so that I could attach a different kind of leash if I so wished?  Can that index finger trigger attachment be added for extra control?</description>
