Hotforge Bent Gate Carabiner

<p>The Hotforge Bent Gate carabiner by Black Diamond is a keylock carabiner with a curved catch and all the technical finesse you could wish for in such a central part of climbing gear. Black Diamond has re-released 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 Bent Gate carabiner has been given a larger rope contact area on the large side of the carabiner by reworking 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 quickdraw.</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 rope-side carabiner in an quickdraw.</p><div><br></div>
