Black Diamond Hotforge Straight Gate Carabiner Black

The HotForge Straight Gate carabiner is a modern take on Black Diamond's classic keylock carabiner. Purpose-built for the bolt-side of quickdraws, the HotForge is the most durable bolt-side carabiner they've ever built, while its straight gate makes clipping bolts nice and easy. Featuring a hot-forged construction – allowing weight to be removed where it's not needed and material to be added where durability is key – the HotForge has a deeper basket for better clipping, while the hinge-end basket is flatter to ensure the webbing of quickdraws stays put. A larger rope bearing surface adds durability for the carabiner, while the flats on the gate reduce the likelihood of the gate opening accidentally. Finally, the nose geometry has been updated and optimised to allow for efficient clipping and unclipping from bolts.
