The Carabiner features a hot-forged construction—allowing for weight to be removed where it’s not needed and added 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 Black Diamond have optimised 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
HotForged Construction
Allowing Black Diamond to remove weight where it’s not needed and add material where durability is key, Hot Forged Construction gives the geometry of our equipment the perfect balance between weight, strength, and performance.
