Black Diamond Oval Carabiner - 2005

Big wall vets swear by Ovals since their smooth shape prevents carabiner "shift" when easing into dicey placements. A favorite since their invention by Raffi Bedayn in 1949, Ovals are great for racking a set of Stoppers or other gear. Weighs in at 62 g (2.19 oz).

Oval Carabiner

By:

This biner is great for classic big wall and trad. It’s great when you know in the back of your mind you need to double up a big hex or a major bolt, but you don’t want to sport or sacrifice the locking biners. Cheap, and lots of em, and they are wonderfully light. Great basic selection for even the most advanced kit for a trip.

The Mother of all Haul Bags

I don't know what I would do with out my Zion haul bag! It's a beast in size, but a beauty on my back. No matter how much gear I put in it, the weight never really is noticed. I am the envy of my gym. Thanks!

Perfect all-around clip and not too pricy!

I use these things kayaking, hiking, camping, everything! The oval is the very nicest biner to hold onto tightly, and for that purpose I use these for my rope ascents together with the Petzl tibloc ascender. They are super durable, and rather bulky so you know you're not going to kill them using them for somewhat stupid things (lifting an engine out of a Ford Escort for example). Great basic biner.

Oval, the only way to go!

I own a ton of these! Doesn't matter whether I'm clipping gear to a raft on a river trip, securing a load to the top of my car, or racking up for a long day of Trad climbing, the Oval biner is always totally handy.
