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.
Belay HMS Screw
Description
The Belay HMS Screw carabiner is additionally attached to the tie-in loop of the climbing harness with the inside wire snapper. This has the advantage that the safety carabiner with the hinged belay device can not twist. Thus, the aluminum carabiner LACD always keeps its ideal position when backing up and guarantees a very good usability. The Belay HMS Screw is easy and comfortable to operate with a reliable screw cap and keylock system. Climber climbers are guaranteed safe use of the safety carabiner in the climbing gym and on the climbing rock, but experienced climbers also appreciate the reliable handling.
