Description

Unique shape carabiner with Twin-Gate wire-gate and Captive systems. Light and compact.

Unique carabiner in "hourglass" design in which a simple wire opening isolates the belay loop and maintains the correct orientation even with the open carabiner. The shape guarantees the positioning of the carabiner automatically. Used for belaying and rappelling. Clepsydra is the arrival point of an analysis of the various problems that occurred in the belaying of a partner:
- double opening with Twin-Gate system (Wire-Gate) to avoid the accidental opening of the carabiner "always and in any case"
- flat in the lower part to follow the shape of the webbings of the belay loops, with "captive" safety wire to avoid "cross loading" or positioning along the minor axis of the carabiner, which would greatly reduce its strength
- rounded upper part to allow easy movement of the device and the sliding of the rope / ropes if the tube is used, without edges which would ruin the ropes themselves
- external flap that prevents the device from getting sideways and working badly
All in a very small and light size that adapts to the new trend of using lighter and thinner materials such as the new diameters of the ropes, and therefore with the elimination of all the superfluous. Individually tested, with the date of testing and progressive number laser-marked on it.

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.
