Shadow Brand Screwgate Carabiner
Personal Lockers for Climbing
Personal lockers are essential in climbing where weight, size, and strength are critical. They are commonly used on sling runners and for most connection points on belay stances. For a standard 2-person climbing team, the majority of locking carabiners will be personal lockers.
D-Shaped Carabiners
D-shaped carabiners are designed to encourage loading in their strongest orientation by forcing loads towards the carabiner spine. An Offset D carabiner further refines this design by extending the top bar and increasing internal volume. This improves handling and compatibility with thick ropes and slings.
Key Features of the Carabiner
- Nose Slots into a Groove: The carabiner's nose slots into a groove in the gate, allowing it to achieve full strength without a gate notch. This results in a clean internal profile that won't catch on gear, bolts, or slings, making clipping and removal easier from systems.
Construction Techniques
- I-Beam Construction: This carabiner uses I-beam construction techniques, making it lighter without compromising strength. This is achieved through hot forging, a process that allows metal to be shaped into complex forms that enhance functionality.
