The video made me think of this post from January last year http://coldthistle.blogspot.se/2011/01/be-attentive-when-placing-ice-screws.html
Climb safe!
Please elaborate.
Good "catch" Jorgen!
The video shows using a stubbie in a rebore from a long screw (22cm?).
It is good ice and the stubbie screw failed at around 2300#s in a drop test. 2300# is pretty good. Which is why I use rebores when it is easy to do so.
