Great Master Point Locker

By Ranked #29 - Carabiners, Quickdraws, and Belay Devices June 20, 2009

I have 2 of the BD Rocklock Screwgate Biners, which I exclusively use for master points on a top-rope setup. I think these are great as the Screwgate gives me comfort that they will stay locked up top (v. the Twislock) and they are plenty large to run the rope through. While I think other locking biners are better for the anchoring system (e.g., BD Positron Screwgates), these work great as master-points biners. I have a Petzel William as a dedicated belay-locker, but these would also work well for both belaying and rappelling.
