Aluminum alloy large-gate wiregate climbing quickdraw carabiner

A high-performance, ultra-lightweight wiregate carabiner designed specifically for trad climbing, multi-pitch routes, alpine climbing, and ice climbing. The body is forged from 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, weighing only about 33.5g per unit while offering a robust 22kN tensile strength and an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. The contact surfaces at the top and bottom are specially widened to accommodate ropes and bolt hangers, effectively distributing pressure and reducing friction for smoother rope travel. Equipped with a stainless steel wiregate, it remains free of jams even in extreme, icy conditions, providing crisp and responsive action. Available individually for flexible replacements or as a discounted 6-piece set (approx. 201g per set) to meet the lightweight requirements of building a gear rack.

Key Features

• Ultra-lightweight Strength Ratio (approx. 33.5g each): Significantly reduces the total load for lead climbing and long-route gear racks, allowing for effortless climbing.

• Anti-freeze, Non-jamming Wiregate: The stainless steel wiregate lacks an enclosed spring chamber, preventing ice, snow, and grit from accumulating. It operates smoothly in sub-zero ice climbing environments and minimizes gate flutter caused by impacts against the rock.

• Widened Rope and Hanger Contact Surfaces: The contact arcs for ropes and bolt hangers are specially widened and smoothed to ensure smooth rope passage without abrasion, significantly extending the lifespan of both your climbing rope and the hardware.

• 23mm Wide Opening for Comfortable Handling: Features a 54mm wide × 90mm high ergonomic profile with a 23mm wide-angle opening, enabling precise, easy clipping and unclipping even when wearing thick gloves.

• Reliable Tensile Standards: Provides a major axis breaking strength of 22kN, with minor axis and open-gate strengths of 7kN, meeting the rigorous XF494-2023 specifications.
