Why We Like The DMM Alpha Wire Carabiner
The DMM Alpha Wire Carabiner is an all-rounder that delivers reliable performance whether we're sending bolted lines or icy cracks. The recessed gate notch creates a clean surface that won't get caught up on gear, while the grooved, ergonomic spine smooths handling for increased clipping ease. Built with a wire gate and an I-beam construction, this 'biner keeps gram count low, strength up, and ensures proper operation in icy conditions.

WC Helium Upgrade
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
The alpha wire is nearly identical to the WC Helium 3.0 in size and shape. The key differences are a more textured finish and a stronger gate action.
