Snapgates
Snapgate karabiners (also known as carabiners, krabs or biners) for clipping ropes and slings together. Solid gates are usually preferred for sport climbing, and are available in a straight gate for clipping the bolt or a bent gate for clipping the rope to. Wiregates are made from a single piece of stainless steel wire and have a much simpler mechanism. They are lighter than solid gates, so they're ideal for keeping the weight of a large trad or alpine climbing rack down to a minimum. Wiregates won't freeze up when you're ice climbing, and are less prone to gate flutter due to the reduced mass.
We stock a wide range of karabiners from top climbing brands DMM, Wild Country, Black Diamond, Wild Country, Grivel, Edelrid, Metolius and Ocun, with multipacks offering great value for money.

£8.00Incl. 20% TaxWild Country have re-vamped their classic Wildwire karabiner. The overall shape is the same easy-clipping, bow-backed shape that sits so well in the hand, now cleverly I-beamed to not only save some weight, but also make it stronger than before. The nose is slightly shrouded too, to reduce the chances of the wire gate opening when pressed against the rock.

The Nineteen G is the undisputed lightest karabiner in the world and is so light that two of them weigh less than the classic Outside best-seller, the Wild Country Wild Wire. Inevitably there are consequences on the design, this wiregate is much smaller than any other karabiner we sell. However for certain applications, such as monster Gogarth racks or tiny Ryanair baggage allowances, they simply can't be beaten. This is a pack of 6, anodised in different colours so you can colour code your cams or create funky rainbow quickdraws!
