Black Diamond Litewire Carabiner

The Black Diamond LiteWire Carabiner is a wiregate carabiner designed as the primary racking option for trad climbers building systems in desert cracks and alpine terrain. Hot-forged from 7075 aluminum with 25% pre-consumer recycled content, it weighs 32 grams with a 23mm gate opening. The nose geometry optimizes clipping efficiency under load, and a hinge-basket construction protects the sling and rope at cam placements where extended use would otherwise cause wear. Strength ratings: 24 kN major axis (closed gate), 8 kN minor axis, 8 kN open gate.
