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.
Attache Bar
Description
Pear-shaped locking carabiner with unidirectional positioning bar.
Cross-loading carabiners are a thing of the past with the ATTACHE BAR. When used with the removable BAR, the pear-shaped ATTACHE carabiner is a versatile tool. It becomes a unidirectional carabiner, oriented to load the major axis and maximizing ease of use when belaying or using ropes for glacier travel. It has an H-frame to keep the weight low and the round-stock basket creates a smooth surface for the rope to run over, for easier belaying with the VERSO, REVERSO, or a Munter hitch.
- Unidirectional ATTACHE carabiner with BAR:
- Removable BAR orients the carabiner to load the major axis for ease when belaying or using ropes for glacier travel
- BAR cannot be closed if the gate is not fully locked, limiting the risk of user error
- Carabiner gate cannot be accidentally unlocked when BAR is installed in the closed position - ATTACHE carabiner without BAR:
- Round-stock basket provides a smooth surface for the rope to run over when belaying with a Munter hitch, VERSO, or REVERSO
- Partial H-frame optimizes the strength-to-weight ratio
- Pear-shape design is versatile for climbing and mountaineering - Easy to use:
- SCREW-LOCK locking system provides good handling and effective locking
- Keylock system and smooth nose help prevent the carabiner from snagging during use
- Easy to use when wearing mountaineering gloves
