Salewa Ortles Screw Carabiner

The Ortles Screw Carabiner is a sturdy screw-lock carabiner that is extremely lightweight and versatile. This locking carabiner is ideal for setting up a multi-point belay system, as an anchor point for a force-distribution belay (“South Tyrolean belay”), or as a carabiner for self-belaying at a belay station. The carabiner’s well-thought-out design features a conical keylock nose that prevents it from snagging on the rope or slings. At the same time, the screw-lock carabiner features a wide gate opening that makes it easier to tie a clove hitch and to clip in and out. The form-optimized aluminum construction allows for optimal use of materials: this saves weight and resources while meeting the highest safety standards. The wide inner contact surface also ensures ideal rope handling and protects your gear. The additional small hole in the nose is used to remove ice, snow, or dirt.
