Trusted on technical snow routes around the world, the MSR Snow Picket is the benchmark for reliable snow protection when the consequences of a poor anchor are real.

The aircraft-grade aluminium T-beam construction delivers maximum strength at minimum weight, and the updated design addresses the two points where pickets typically show wear first. A reinforced hammer-end resists deformation through repeated placement and removal, while the tapered drive-end penetrates consolidated snow cleanly and efficiently without the excessive force that can compromise your stance on steep terrain. Multiple beveled attachment points allow both vertical placement for direct pull anchors and horizontal deadman configurations, and an etched middle clip-in point gives you a clear visual reference for consistent placement under pressure.

At 1 lb 5 oz and 90 cm, this is a full-size picket built for serious alpine and ski touring objectives across Canada's mountain ranges.
