DMM Alpha Trad Carabiner

Description

We’ll keep things easy – the DMM Alpha Trad Carabiner is the best wire gate climbing carabiner going round. It ticks all the boxes – it’s super light, full sized and ergonomically shaped to easily handle when pumped or with gloves, shape encourages rope into the strongest position, and it’s a clean nose wire gate without adding any extra shroud or covers. The DMM Alpha Trad Wire Gate Carabiner is perfect for building alpine draws (sling runners), racking trad gear, rope ends of quickdraws as well as a number of other applications. The Alpha Trad is perfect across trad, sport, or winter climbing. 

 

The Alpha gives positive handling and easy clipping, with grooves on the spine to provide extra grip. Deep rope baskets help seat gear and ropes, and encourage loading along the Alpha’s strongest axis. 

A clean nose helps prevent snagging and accidental gate opening. Superb ergonomics and safe design mean the Alpha excels in any climbing environment.  They are full sized for ease of handling, while I-Beam construction and wire gates keep weight low. If you want one type of carabiner to cover all your climbing needs, you need an all-rounder.

 

DMM Alpha Trad Features

• Wire gates – are the lightest gate type available, and resist freezing shut in cold conditions. They help reduce rack weight, and are ideal for trad, winter, and alpine climbing.
• Clean Nose – The gate notch is housed in a recess, creating a smooth inner profile that prevents snagging on gear, ropes and slings. The nose of the carabiner is wider than the gate, helping prevent accidental gate opening caused by rubbing on rock.
• Ergonomic Shape – The Alpha’s ergonomic spine and grippy grooves give confident handling, and combine with deep rope baskets for easy clipping.
• I-Beam construction – allow carabiners to be lighter without compromising strength. This is achieved through hot forging, a process which allows metal to be made into complex shapes that improve functionality.
