answ2. An ice piton would be a metal device hammered into the ice. An ice piton would usually be under 150mm in length, and consists of a spike, and a formed hole at the 'hammered' end. used as a securing device.
An Ice Screw would be another type of securing device, in this case screwed into the ice. This would a tube of about 400 mm long and 30mm diameter, and with a sharp screwthread running down the outside. it is screwed into the ice, and will also have a securing loop at the head.
An ice Axe is a climbing tool, with a shaft from 400mm - 1200mm long, and with a head consisting of an adze blade used for chopping steps in the snow/ice; and also a pick as part of the head, and is used also to chip away at ice.
At the foot of the shaft, there will be a spike which is also used for support.
Often an ice axe is mistakenly called an ice pick. But hopefully, never by an outdoors person.
An ice pick, is a device about the size of a screwdriver, and is used for handling (or breaking) chunks of ice at the table. Somewhat obsolete with modern refrigeration, and the demise of the ice-man who delivered large chunks of ice.
A1. an ice pick? So words such as annoyed (the spike is hammered into the rock so that it is secure, using a belay device)
