Alpha Steel Quickdraw

FEATURES

Sport carabiner for durability

Sport carabiners are designed to be robust and give easy clipping. Hot forging allows us to put extra metal in areas of high wear, making these biners suitable for clipping bolts, repeated falls, and intensive use of modern sport climbing.

Bent gate for easy clipping

Our curved gate guides ropes into the carabiner during clipping. Grooves in the gate improve handling, and increase control when making tricky clips. Solid gate carabiners are suited to sport climbing, where ease of handling and resistance to wear are more important than weight.

Keylock nose eliminates snagging

This carabiner’s nose slots into a groove in the gate, allowing it to achieve full strength without a gate notch. This creates a clean internal profile to prevent snagging on gear, bolts or slings, for easier clipping and stripping of routes.

Ergonomic back design for positive handling and easy clipping

The Alpha’s shape fits naturally in the hand, and combines with its large gate opening to make the carabiner very easy to clip. Grooves on the back bar increase grip for confident handling.

I-Beam construction for optimum strength to weight ratio

I-Beam construction reduces carabiner weight without compromising strength. It is achieved through hot forging, which allows metal to be formed in complex shapes that improve functionality.

Hot forged from steel for strength and durability

Carbon Steel is used when very high strength and durability are more important than weight. Steel carabiners are often used in centre and wall environments where high wear and repeat falls are normal.
