Black Diamond Hotwire Carabiner

As the first carabiner with a wire gate, the new and improved Black Diamond HotWire is still an essential piece of climbing gear thanks to its versatility. With the versatility of a wire gate carabiner, the HotWire is ideal for both sides of a quickdraw, camalots, belays for belaying and more. With its revised geometry and hot-forged construction, we were able to shave off a few grams while adding material where durability is most important. The HotWire now has a deeper diameter for hooking, while the flat design on the webbing side ensures that the sling does not twist. The larger rope contact area not only makes the carabiner more durable but also protects the rope. We have also optimized the geometry of the Keylock nose to make it even easier to clip the rope and unclip the piton. The HotWire is a timeless classic that is ideal for sport climbing as well as big walls and long, high alpine ice routes.
