Shadow Screwgate 2017
Description
This is a high performance, lightweight locking biner suitable for a wide range of uses, from trad climbing right through to winter climbing.
Think of it as a bigger version of the Phantom. The extra gate opening and larger size make it easier to use if you are wearing gloves. And despite these advantages it still hangs lightly on your rack.
-Lightweight locking biner
-Keylock nose
-Strong and light I-Beam construction
-Available with Screwgate, Quicklock and Locksafe locking systems

Finally, I usually carry a couple of smaller D shaped screwgates for all the other times I need a completely secure clip. Often this is to clip into placements in my belay anchor. For these types of task I prefer something light, strong and fairly compact like the DMM Shadow (guess which ones they are in the photo!). Not so small it can’t be handled easily…but still small enough to be light. Details are again on the DMM site and can be found here.
