Solid gate carabiners are always best for clipping bolts and pitons as they are more secure and less likely to unclip - due to the thickness of their gate. The new hot forged SHADOW has another advantage built right in - a notchless keylock nose - which can't hang up or snag on metal hardware, runners or slings. Strategically important for leaders and followers alike - particularly on overhanging or aid routes. The citron color coded straight gate features a machined recess to make clipping and cleaning easier and the entire works are completely anodized for greater corrosion resistance and smooth operation year after year. Both are manufactured from 7010 alloy and available individually or as sets with 10 mm Gripper Dyneema Quickdraws. The Gripper rubber insert holds and steadies the bottom biner while you make the clip and also prevents the carabiner from cross-loading should you whip. Made in the U.K. Save on 10+ and Draw Sets.
