Why We Like The Wild Country Astro Carabiner
Despite being Wild Country's lightest, the Astro Carabiner remains versatile for every climber, from alpinists to sport craggers. Its hot-forged, I beam construction gives a phenomenal strength-to-weight ratio, with a major axis strength at 23kN while only weighing an ounce. Wild Country sized the Astro to stay convenient for any style of climbing—not too small for big sport climbers, nor too large for compact-minded alpine climbers. The Astro also features an ergonomic Tech Wire gate with a hooded nose to prevent hooking on ropes, bolts, and webbing.
