Black Diamond Hotforge Bent Gate Carabiner

Designed as the rope-end carabiner on a sport quickdraw, the HotForge Bent Gate Carabiner from Black Diamond prioritizes fast, consistent clipping on sustained redpoint burns. Hot-forged aluminum construction removes material where it isn't needed and concentrates it at the rope-contact zone, producing a 45-gram carabiner with a 24mm bent gate opening that clips smoothly under load in one motion. Strength ratings: 24 kN major axis (closed gate), 8 kN minor axis, 8 kN open gate.
