Salewa Ortles Bent Carabiner

Ortles Bent Carabiner

The Ortles bent carabiner is our robust carabiner with a pre-shaped gate, making it ideal for sport climbing or alpine routes. The curved gate optimizes the process of clipping and unclipping the rope, greatly enhancing handling while climbing. The thoughtfully designed, ergonomically shaped gate also features a special grip zone for the thumb, which further facilitates clipping. The conical Keylock nose prevents the carabiner from snagging on the rope or slings. Additionally, the large, stable opening simplifies the process of clipping or unclipping the rope. The optimally shaped aluminum construction ensures the best possible material utilization, saving weight and resources, while the wide inner rope contact area provides ideal handling and protects the material. It also includes a clear-out hole in the nose for effectively removing ice, snow, and dirt.
