Black Diamond Hotwire Carabiner
The Black Diamond HotWire carabiner is an essential piece of gear for any climber who values versatility and performance. As the first carabiner with a wire gate, it offers an ideal combination of light weight and high functionality. Thanks to its redesigned geometry and hot-forged construction, the HotWire is not only lighter but also more durable. Its special shape provides a larger rope contact area, which not only increases the carabiner’s durability but also protects the rope.
The HotWire’s optimized keylock nose makes clipping in and out of ropes and bolts particularly easy and efficient. The carabiner’s deep diameter makes clipping easier, while the flat design on the webbing side prevents the sling from twisting. These features make the HotWire ideal for use with quickdraws, Camalots, and when setting up belay stations.
Made from 80% aluminum (7075) and 20% steel, the HotWire offers the perfect balance between weight and durability. Whether for sport climbing, big-wall climbing, or high-alpine ice routes—the HotWire is a timeless classic that no climber’s gear should be without.

- As the first karabiner with wire snapper, the new and improved Black Diamond HotWire is still an indispensable part of climbing equipment thanks to its versatility. With the versatility of a wire snapper karabiner, the HotWire is ideal for both sides of a Quickdraw, for camalots, slings for stand building and much more. Its revised geometry and hot forged construction has allowed us to lose a few grams while adding material where durability is most important. The HotWire now has a deeper diameter for hanging, while the flat construction on the webbing side ensures that the sling does not twist. The larger rope contact area not only makes the karabiner more durable but also protects the rope. We have also optimised the geometry of the keylock nose to make it even easier to hook the rope and unhook the bolts. The HotWire is a timeless classic that is ideal for sport climbing as well as for big walls and long, high alpine ice routes.
