Troubleshooting
Caritool Evo slips on the harness
Ensure the waistbelt is snug and properly positioned. Try attaching it to a thicker part of the waistbelt or use the optional tethering hole for added security if necessary.
Difficulty racking ice screws
Practice the racking motion. Ensure screws are oriented correctly before attempting to place them. Utilize the notched shelf for easier access to middle screws.
