Salewa Ortles Bent Carabiner

The Ortles Bent Carabiner is Salewa’s rugged carabiner with a pre-shaped gate, making it ideal for sport climbing or alpine routes. The curved gate optimizes clipping in and out of the rope and greatly simplifies handling while climbing. The well-designed, ergonomically shaped gate also features a special thumb grip that makes clipping even easier. The tapered keylock nose prevents the carabiner from snagging on the rope or slings. The large, sturdy gate also simplifies clipping the rope in or out. The form-optimized aluminum construction simultaneously allows for the best possible use of material. This saves weight and resources, while the wide internal rope-contact surface ensures ideal handling and protects the rope. Features a “Clear-Out” hole in the nose for effectively removing ice, snow, and dirt.
