As you can see I'm glad that even with my own relatively stout frame I didn't blow the screamer and the ice screw did exactly what it was meant to. So that's another climbing cherry popped - my first real fall onto a screw...

oops! glad you're ok - how did the fall happen? Did it stem from the weirdness of using leashless tools?
