2024年5月7日 · Joining her for carabiner testing is Andy Wellman, a lifelong climber with 24 years of experience under his belt on all disciplines of climbing, from alpine ascents in North and South America, to big walls in Zion and Yosemite, to trad head points in Eldorado Canyon, and years spent focusing on sport climbing and bouldering. Andy, a Colorado ...

2024年1月23日 · The downside is that it doesn't prevent carabiner rotation when paired with tube-style belay devices, whose keeper loop is plenty big enough to slide over the horn. We also point out that for being a simple HMS/pear shaped locker with a small horn added on, it is a bit heavy compared to the Petzl Attache , which is nearly the same shape.

The Camp Dyon is an excellent and versatile wire gate carabiner offering a balance between ultralight tiny biners and the jumbo trad dad biners from the 90s. The Dyon is both lightweight and offers fantastic ease of clipping for those high-stress …

2014年6月14日 · CAMP touts the Orbit as the “World's lightest keylock carabiner!” Maybe they haven't seen the new spec sheets from Petzl, because at 39 grams the Spirits are most definitely lighter than the 45 gram Orbits. The new Petzl Djinns weigh 45 grams, and Black Diamond also makes a 45 gram keylock biner called the Nitron (not reviewed here.)

2019年8月15日 · This can occur when a locking carabiner is improperly locked, or when it is inadvertently pinned and opened against the rock or other material. The open gate strength standard is 7kn for Offset-D shapes, and 6kn for HMS/pear shapes. This will be the third number printed, next to a pictogram of an opened carabiner. Choosing the Right Carabiner ...

2018年10月29日 · When a carabiner catches a fall, the forces generated cause the gate to vibrate. The more mass in the gate, the more vibration, and the gate itself can flutter open and closed. The strength of a carabiner with an open gate is roughly 2/3 of its closed gated strength, anywhere from 7 kN to 10 kN.

2018年10月29日 · This carabiner has an unprotected notch on its nose that the wiregate latches onto. This notch can get hung up on the rope, particularly when climbing steeper terrain. It can also snag on your nuts, slings, harness, and bolts, etc. Due to this, and the smaller size, our testers found the Ultra Light Wire a little difficult to unclip.

2019年8月15日 · The Magnetron gate greatly adds to the security of this locking carabiner, which is the main reason people would be inclined to buy it. When the spring-loaded gate snaps closed, it automatically locks, and the fact that to unlock it requires pinching a specific place on both sides of the gate makes it extremely unlikely that it would ...

2018年10月29日 · In our original carabiner review years ago, the Oz did not score well in this category. The combination of small size and exposed notch in the gate made unclipping this product a chore. Since then, Black Diamond has added a stainless steel wire hood over its nose, and the notch is no longer exposed. This has made a big difference in its usability.

The Photon Lock is CAMP's lightest locking carabiner, and we found it to be one of the lightest overall in this comparative review, regardless of size, which is remarkable considering this locker is a fair bit larger, and therefore easier to use, than its smaller competitors. Many people tested the newest iteration of this locker for us ...
