Workhorse Keylock Quickdraw - 6-Pack

A Keylock carabiner features a smooth, snag-free nose that prevents it from catching on gear or the climbing rope. This design is crucial for climbers as it allows for quick and efficient clipping and unclipping, minimizing the risk of getting stuck during critical moments.

A sling is a loop of webbing that connects gear, like carabiners, to the climbing rope or anchor points. To use a sling, simply loop it around the anchor or gear and attach it with a carabiner. This provides a secure attachment and can be configured in various ways to enhance your safety and gear management.

A Bent Gate carabiner has a curved opening that makes it easier to clip the climbing rope. This design allows for quick and smooth connections, which is especially beneficial when you're under pressure, helping to reduce fumbling and improve your overall climbing efficiency.

Webbing is a strong, woven fabric commonly used in climbing gear, such as slings and harnesses. Made from 100% polyester, it is durable and resistant to wear and tear. Webbing is essential for creating secure connections in climbing setups, ensuring your safety while climbing.

The kN rating indicates the strength of climbing gear, showing how much force it can withstand before failing. For example, a gear rated at 26kN can handle a force equivalent to 26,000 newtons. This high strength rating is crucial for ensuring the gear can support climbers during demanding activities.

When selecting a carabiner, consider the type (Keylock or Bent Gate), the strength rating (measured in kN), and the intended use (e.g., sport climbing, trad climbing). Keylock carabiners are great for snag-free clipping, while Bent Gate carabiners facilitate quick rope connections. Always choose a carabiner that meets or exceeds the strength requirements for your climbing activities.
