ICI Lost Arrow Piton Set (3)

During the 1947 climb of the Lost Arrow Spire in Yosemite National Park, climbers Salathé and Nelson utilized the forged thin-blade design to hammer in to the hard granite stone of Yosemite without buckling. Their usage in the park earned them the namesake of the spire they helped ascend.

ICI, a Japanese mountaineering equipment manufacturer produced these Lost Arrow style pitons between the 1970s and 1980s.

Note: All vintage mountaineering gear is sold for decorative use only and should not be used or treated as safety equipment.
