Description

<p>The Hotforge Straight Gate carabiner from Black Diamond is a keylock carabiner with all the technical finesse you could wish for in such a central piece of climbing gear. Black Diamond has reissued this classic and thought it through to the smallest detail.</p><p>The hot forged construction provides super breaking load values at low weight. The Hotforge Straight Gate karabiner has been given a larger rope contact area on the large karabiner side by a revision of the material distribution, so that it is both more gentle on the rope and more durable. The small side is deliberately kept narrow to reduce the twisting of the carabiner in the draw.</p><p>The snapper also has narrow areas to reduce snapping of the carabiner. The result is a highly functional carabiner that is ideally suited as a wall-side carabiner in an quickdraw.</p>
