But the shorties are the best!

Are almost just as strong in good ice and in bad ice, well...nothing is good anyway!
But we all get taught to get the long screws initially whereas once we get out more we realise we only need 1 x 22/19 for v threads and the rest you want 13s with a couple of 10s and a few 16s if you want to feel better. Lighter and quicker to place too the shorties are!
