The Twin Gates are an interesting take on the locking biner concept. They work, and they work well. They can be finicky to operate, even for an experienced user, but by far their biggest downfall is their biggest upside: innovation. Someone who’s gotten used to the idea, or is curious about new gear, will learn to use them quickly and effectively. But pass them to your partner on a multi-pitch route and they look at them with distrust. It’s a great concept, it really is, but it will take a while for the general climbing population to become accustomed enough with the Twin Gate system for it to be widely adopted. For those willing to try something new, prepare to be questioned.
