A carabiner is a metal loop with a spring-loaded gate used to quickly connect ropes, harnesses, gear, or other equipment. They are commonly made from aluminum (lightweight) or steel (stronger and heavier).
The main types include:
Locking carabiners: Have a mechanism (such as a screw gate, twist lock, or auto-lock) that prevents the gate from opening accidentally. Used for critical safety connections in climbing and rescue.
Non-locking carabiners: Rely only on the spring gate. They're typically used for carrying gear or in situations where accidental opening is less critical.
Shapes:
D-shaped: Strongest and most common for climbing.
Offset D: Easier clipping while maintaining strength.
Pear/HMS: Larger at the top, ideal for belaying and Munter hitches.
Oval: Symmetrical, useful for aid climbing and pulleys.
