You'll recognize these carabiner shapes as the same ones that the best climbers have been using on the hardest routes for decades. Cold forged, anodized bodies with hooded gate notches, and they're still easy on the wallet. Available with straight, bent or wire gates. Use the straight gate version for all round use or for the bolt end of a quickdraw, and the bent gates for the rope end of your 'draws. Wire gate carabiners reduce whiplash, gate chatter, won't ice up and reduce the overall weight. Use them everywhere.
