{"product_id":"smc-i-snow-picket","title":"Snow Picket","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe result of field testing in every imaginable condition, the SMC I Picket sets the standard for snow anchors. Its strength-to-weight ratio is unmatched, and every design decision is deliberate — from the modified I web depth that maximises holding power while staying compact enough to handle and pack easily, to the precision-tapered sharp end that drives cleanly into hard snow and ice. The natural aluminium finish is left intentionally uncoated, gripping more securely in vertical placements than powder-coated or anodised alternatives. Bevelled clip-in hole edges protect ropes and webbing, and the hole spacing is optimised for maximum holding power across a range of snow conditions and configurations, including deadman placements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eRecognised by the American Alpine Institute as a Guides' Choice product.

Clip a carabiner into the hole closest to the snow surface. In softer or warming snow, bury horizontally as a deadman, perpendicular to the direction of pull, clipping into the centre hole with the runner running as directly as possible toward the load. Accurate assessment of snow conditions — and how they may change through the day — is critical to correct placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eModified I web depth for maximum holding power in a compact, packable profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePrecision-tapered sharp end for clean placement in hard snow and ice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNatural aluminium finish for superior grip in vertical placements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBevelled clip-in hole edges protect ropes and webbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHole spacing optimised for stake and deadman configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCompatible with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/climbonequipment.com\/products\/smc-snow-picket-cable\"\u003eSMC Picket Cable\u003c\/a\u003e (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications — 36\":\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDimensions: 36\" x 2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 19.2 oz (544g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMaterial: Aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFinish: Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications — 24\":\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDimensions: 24\" x 2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 12.7 oz (361g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMaterial: Aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFinish: Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SMC","offers":[{"title":"24\"","offer_id":47394477146338,"sku":"210000097270","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"36\"","offer_id":47629471056098,"sku":"210000098329","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/3649\/9682\/files\/picket.png?v=1778625818","url":"https:\/\/climbonequipment.com\/en-us\/products\/smc-i-snow-picket","provider":"Climb On Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
