Black Diamond Hotforge Straight Carabiner

Description

The HotForge Straight Gate Carabiner is a modern take on our classic keylock carabiner, Purpose built for the bolt~side of quickdraws; the HotForge is the most durable bolt~side carabiner we’ve ever built; while its straight gate makes clipping bolts nice and easy, Featuring a hot forged construction—allowing us to remove weight where it’s not needed and add material where durability is key—the HotForge has a deeper basket for better clipping; while the hinge~end basket is flatter to ensure the webbing of quickdraws stays put, A larger rope bearing surface adds durability for the carabiner; while the flats on the gate reduce the likelihood of the gate opening accidentally, Finally; we’ve updated and optimized the nose geometry to allow for efficient clipping and unclipping from bolts,
