Looking forward to ice season again. Wanting to buy some screws confused about what size I'm needing. Looking for input from some veteran ice climbers.

Here is a previous thread on ice screws to help. I like BD express ice screws. Some people prefer petzl or grivel. 13 and 16 are my work horse screws, that is what I mostly use on route. You'll hear many debates on more 16's vs. more 13's. Some people like more 13's. I have more 16's then 13's (only a few more). I like to use 16's on route, as well as for my anchors on multi pitch routes, that's why I have more 16's. I carry a couple 10's for thin ice and a 22 for v-threads and/or my anchor. I climb in the north east. Cheers.
