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.
Pure Straight
Description
Robust and versatile all-round carabiner for all vertical activities. The special geometry of the nose combined with the keylock closure mechanism ensures optimal handling when hooking and unhooking. The large rope contact area reduces material wear, and its high open strength is an additional safety feature. Available with a straight or bent gate.
- Keylock closure mechanism for optimum handling when clipping and unclipping
- H-profile construction ensures best possible use of material and minimal weight
