Black Diamond HotForge Carabiner

The HotForge Bent Gate Carabiner is a modern take on our classic keylock carabiner and is a smooth operator designed for the rope-end of a quickdraw. Its bent gate is super easy to clip and the carabiner also has a huge rope-bearing surface for ultra-durability. Featuring a hot-forged construction—allowing us to remove weight where it’s not needed and add material where durability is key—the HotForge has a deeper basket for better clipping, while the hinge-end basket is flatter to ensure the webbing of quickdraws stays put.

• Hot-Forged for lighter-weight construction
• Larger rope-bearing surface for added durability
• Nose geometry allows for efficient unclipping
• Flats on gate reduce the likelihood of gate opening accidentally
