The UIAA equipment standard provides a baseline for equipment performance in a test lab under controlled conditions on new equipment. Although these test conditions are relevant to the conditions encountered climbing, conditions encountered at the crags and the condition of the equipment are equally important. This recommendation from the UIAA member federation The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) provides vital equipment information that is NOT explicitly addressed in the standard, particularly failure modes of the equipment and recommendations for the use, inspection, maintenance, and retirement of equipment.
Xenon HMS Screwgate
Description
The Xenon HMS Screwgate is a well-engineered pear shape carabiner loaded with features. The geometry optimizes the weight, strength, and durability and a specially designed Keylock nose makes removing stuck knots such as clove hitches simple. The wide pear shape allows for secure rope management, making it ideal as a center anchor point on multi-pitch climbs. The Xenon Screwgate is also available with a wire keeper to ensure the carabiner stays in the right belay position and prevents cross-loading.
- Compact pear-shape for excellent handling
- Spacious size for knot management
- Snagging-free design
- Weight, strength & durability optimized along all surfaces by an I-beam structure
- Visual closure indicator
