The Carabiner is featuring a hot-forged constructionallowing us to remove weight where its not needed and add material where durability is keyand a hinge-basket that holds the sling of a Camalot adds durability not only for the carabiner, but for your rope as well, plus weve optimized the nose geometry to allow for efficient clipping, making the LiteWire an ultra-durable wiregate just waiting to be racked. Durable workhorse ideal for trad climbing Hot-Forged for lighter-weight construction Larger rope-bearing surface for added durability Nose geometry allows for efficient clipping/unclipping Weight : 32 g (1.3 oz) Closed Gate Strength : 24 kN (5,395 lbf) Open Gate Strength : 8 kN (1,798 lbf) Minor Axis Strength : 8 kN (1,798 lbf) Gate Opening : 23 mm (0.9 in)
