The HotWire carabiner is the most versatile carabiner that Black Diamond has ever created. The stainless-steel wire operates as both gate and spring. Not only does the wire gate simplify the carabiner, it's actually stronger than a conventional aluminum gate in cross-loading or edge-loading situations. Due to it's negligible mass, the gate is extremely resistant to the phenomenon known as "whiplash." The slender, no-bulk wire occupies a fraction of the HotWire's internal working space - a fantastic advantage allowing the body to be small and still maintain a space large enough to accommodate your finger and the rope. Strong, ultralight, and super clippable, the HotWire offers superb versatility for all types of climbing. Strengths: Open 9kN Closed 25kN Weight: 45g |
