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.
Ceres II
Description
The Cypher Ceres II is the perfect lightweight racking carabiner that allows you to color code your rack to easily identify the perfect piece for your next placement. The Ceres II is a hooded wire-gate carabiner with a compact frame, cutting down the bulkyness of your rack. The contoured wire-gate shape makes clipping bolts, webbing, and ropes an easy task. Made with hot forged aluminum.
