DMM Alpha Sport Carabiner

The Alpha Sport is a highly ergonomic carabiner that gives easy and intuitive handling. Grooves in the spine add extra grip when stretching for a crucial clip. A solid gate is easier to handle when pumped, increasing your chance of clipping the bolt.

More metal in areas of high wear help resist the wear and tear of modern sport climbing. Bolt hangers can damage carabiners, and strengthening the Alpha's contact areas helps reduce this.

A keylock nose creates a clean internal profile that resists snagging, and reduces the chance of the carabiner hanging up on bolts. The clean nose also makes stripping a steep route easier, something you'll be thankful for at the end of a tough redpoint session.

The Alpha Sport comes in straight and bent gates, designed for either end of the carabiner. For the clipping end, the Alpha Sport bent gate is designed specifically for the rope end of a quickdraw, and help guide the rope into the carabiner during clipping. Grooves in the gate improve handling and increase control when making tricky clips.

Features

• Ergonomic carabiner design for positive handling and easy clipping
  The Alpha’s ergonomic spine and grippy grooves give confident handling, and combine with deep rope baskets for easy clipping.
• Keylock nose eliminates snagging
  The carabiner’s nose slots into a groove in the gate, giving full strength without a gate notch. This creates a clean internal profile to prevent snagging on gear, bolts or slings, for easier clipping and stripping of routes.
• I-Beam construction for optimum strength to weight ratio
  Using I-Beam construction techniques lets us make carabiners lighter without compromising their strength. This is achieved through hot forging, which allows us to move metal into complex shapes.
