Good Features
 the biner I use for racking ALL my gear… PERIOD!!!! It has been field tested in the worlds best stomping ground "Yosemite" with the guru's of climbing. The way I see it, if it was good enough then, well it is DAMN sure good enough now. Can't beat the price and how readily available the biner is where ever you purchase it.
Bad Features
 NONE dude's!

  • Made in USA.
  • Weight 45.0 grams
  • Strength major axis open 7.0 kilonewtons
  • Strength major axis closed 23.0 kilonewtons

Good Features
 its ovular shape, good to put 3-4 (depending on size) pieces of passive protection on
Bad Features
 the fact that it isnt keylock makes the little tooth thing catch on protection, making hard to manipulate with one hand
Recommended Alternatives
 a keylock version of an oval carabiner

Good Features
 A must-have for aid climbing. D-shaped crabs can shift under load - a gut wrenching experience when you're holding your breath on a marginal skyhook or RP.
Bad Features
 Obviously not as strong as a D shaped crab.
