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 Trilock
Description
The Xenon Tri-Lock has got the same shape as our Xenon HMS carabiner. The pear-shape geometry is weight, strength, and durability optimized, and the specially designed Keylock nose makes it easier to remove stuck knots such as clove hitches. The wide pear shape allows for secure rope management, making it ideal as a center anchor point on multi-pitch climbs. The addition of the autolocking Tri-Lock mechanism increases safety, making it so you cannot forget to lock the carabiner. The Xenon Tri-Lock is also available with a wire keeper to ensure the carabiner stays in the correct belay position and prevents cross-loading.
- Compact pear-shape adapted for good handling
- Spacious size for knot management
- Snagging-free design
- Weight, strength & durability optimized along all surfaces by an I-beam structure
- Big gate opening
- Auto-locking Tri-Lock mechanism
- One-hand operable
