LiteWire

Rating

My vote: None ( 4.5 avg )

Description

Engineered as a wiregate trad climbing machine, the LiteWire is a small workhorse carabiner.

The Carabiner is featuring a hot-forged construction—allowing us to remove weight where it’s not needed and add material where durability is key—and a hinge-basket that holds the sling of a Camalot adds durability not only for the carabiner, but for your rope as well, plus we’ve optimized the nose geometry to allow for efficient clipping, making the LiteWire an ultra-durable wiregate just waiting to be racked.

  • Durable workhorse ideal for trad climbing
  • Hot-Forged for lighter-weight construction
  • Larger rope-bearing surface for added durability
  • Nose geometry allows for efficient clipping/unclipping

LiteWire Carabiner Review

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.
