Awesome Belay Biner

By Lyric Rosatti Ranked #44 - Carabiners, Quickdraws, and Belay Devices May 11, 2009

I got the Boa because I was looking for a big biner to use as for belay. I wanted a big biner for those times when your belay loop is getting a little crammed for space at the anchors. DMM delivers big with the boa. It elevates the belay device from the loop perfectly for me. I got the locksafe for extra security on the belay, and the operation is buttery smooth once you get used to the hand motion of opening the gate.

This is a big biner, so its a little heavy, but DMM isn't joking when it comes to using beam design in their biners. This thing has an awesome weigh/size ratio. I'll post a picture with a size comparison when I get a chance.

This carabiner is awesome for HMS's and belay devices, but thats about it. Even though it has a fairly slim profile for hooking into pro and anchors, I don't think I'd use it for much else beyond belay.
