Some climbers use tape slings to "tie-off" long ice-screws that have not been fully screwed into the ice, to reduce the leverage of a fall, which might bend or break the screw. There is some risk that such slings may move or be sliced by the screw's hanger.
Climbers sometimes use tape slings to "tie-off" long ice-screws not yet fully embedded in the ice, with the goal of reducing the impact of a fall and preventing the screw from bending or breaking. There is a risk that these slings might move or be cut by the screw's hanger.
