Engineered as a wiregate trad climbing machine, the LiteWire is a small workhorse carabiner. The Litewire carabiner is featuring a hot-forged construction—allowing Black Diamond to remove weight where it’s not needed and add material where durability is key—and a hinge-basket that holds the sling of a Camalot adds durability not only for the carabiner, but for your rope as well, plus we’ve optimized the nose geometry to allow for efficient clipping, making the LiteWire an ultra-durable wiregate just waiting to be racked. Durable workhorse ideal for trad climbing Hot-Forged for lighter-weight construction Larger rope-bearing surface for added durability Nose geometry allows for efficient clipping/unclipping Weight: 32 g Closed Gate Strength: 24 kN Gate Opening: 20 mm Minor Axis Strength: 8 kN Open Gate Strength: 8 kN Major Axis Strength: 24 kN 80% Aluminum (7075), 20% Steel
