DMM alpha trad carabiners are perfect for alpine, trad and mulitpitch :) wire gate, keylock, a large opening, and lightweight compared to the alpha sport
The Trango 18 cm vs a 25cm sling taped near biners? I've been using the sling / biners for years and they give a good amount of extension and are lightweight coupled with the petzl Ange S biners.
G-Money Debt, That is a good point. On sport routes I prefer the “fixed” length quickdraws, but on traditional, alpine and ice climbing I would go with he extendable quickdraws any day! 😄
@@Cragcloud Not bad at all without gloves. With gloves they are limit. Although, definitely much better than any other out there that has a hook. My personal favorites are BD Oz.
@@jonmurua Yeah, I agree! Keylocking is definitely something to look for - especially on ice, where you don't want to be tumbling with quickdraws getting stuck to your harness. The Black Diamond Oz is also a really nice carabiner! It has the right set of features :)
Finally, a video with all the information I needed all together. I was hearing so many things, as I am about to establish my first rack. Thank you !
I am really happy toi hear that Nancy :) What have you ended up with?
been climbing for ~35yrs and I learned something from this video - thanks :o)
I am really happy to hear that the video also can inspire such experienced guys like you, W Horsey 😄
Wire gate is just as strong....
Nice video, Dmm alpha and wild country proton are the best bent gates for sport climbing.
Thanks for a great video.
Thanks for the video, it was very useful!
Glad to hear that! :D
Wire gates are as strong as straight or bend gate, they have the same strength in KN
Really great video. It is much appreciated!!
Thank you, Sean 😄
Great video! Super helpful! Thanks so much:)
Thank you, Elisabeth! I am really happy you liked the video 😄
Seems that wire gate quickdraws have less tendency to open inadvertently compared with full gate quickdraws when hitting the rock.

I agree! It is a really solid carabiner design. DMM in general just make some really great climbing gear - especially carabiners! :)

Did anybody notice the figure of eight knot at 3:21?
Matthew Bucchi Any particular thing you are thinking about? 😄
For apine: lightweight, big enough and without the hook.
The only ones that qualify are Black Diamond Oz and Petzl Ange as far as I know.
Jon Murua, I’ve looked at the Petzl Ange several times, but the gate looks so narrow. How does it perform?

2:17, that’s a finger ready to pop off. She really needs to learn proper clipping. You can get away with that until you don’t.
