Massive belay biner

By ALM Ranked #244 - Carabiners, Quickdraws, and Belay Devices March 18, 2010

I love this carabiner. It's my belay/rapell carabiner, and big enough to handle anything I throw in it. It's smooth to run rope through. The screw-gate is easy to operate - it doesn't stick closed, no matter how tightly I crank it shut. I also like the red line to warn when it's unscrewed - one more tool to make it easier to check safety before my climber gets off the ground. I have had this carabiner flip sideways on me once at the top of a rappel as I was figuring out the fall-line - I did a last glance at my set-up before I let the rope run and noticed it crossloading. No fault of the biner (it's certainly big enough to flip around though), but a good reminder to myself to triple-check everything.
