Hotforge Bent Gate

Product Information

The Black Diamond HotForge Bent Gate carabiner is a reliable choice for climbers, especially when you need smooth, confident clipping on the rope-end of a quickdraw. Its hot-forged construction provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring durability without unnecessary bulk. You'll appreciate the large rope-bearing surface, which not only extends the life of the carabiner but also reduces wear on your rope. The optimized nose geometry means snag-free unclipping, and clever flats on the gate minimize the chance of accidental opening. Designed with a deeper basket for solid clipping and a flatter hinge-end to keep quickdraw webbing secure, this carabiner performs consistently.
