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.

£36.99Incl. 20% TaxThe DMM WallDO is an offset oval wiregate that was developed as a do it all workhorse – a karabiner that will perform in any role you can throw at it. The large, shallow baskets provide a similar performance to an oval, while maintaining a bias towards the back of the karabiner to increase strength. Webbing sits comfortably at either end and they work as well with etriers and haul bags as they do on backpack straps. Learn More -
