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.

Mad Rock has done a great job with the UltraLight. Small but not too small, light and strong, and all at a reasonable price. Our Best Buy award winner is a great choice for someone new to climbing and facing the hundreds of dollars it takes to build their rack, or for anyone who would rather spend their money on gas to get to the crag rather than their gear.
In hand, it is like a smaller version of one of my favorite designs, the Wild Country Helium, except it costs about half as much. Can’t argue with that. The wire gate clips well and has just enough clearance not to trap a finger. The CE-certified Ultra Light is also available in a five-inch Spectra draw set-up for $11.95. Each carabiner is pull tested to 40 percent of its rated strength in major axis.
