Black Diamond HotWire

The Black Diamond HotWire carabiner has been around for more than 20 years and is still going thanks to its classic design. The latest model features an updated geometry and a hot-forged construction which has let Black Diamond remove weight where it isn't needed and add it where it is which has added a lot of durability to the carabiner. It has a deeper basket which makes it better for clipping and a flatter hinge basket holds the webbing of draws more securely. It also has a larger rope bearing surface adding more durability for the carabiner a slowing down the wear on the rope. Black Diamond has also improved the geometry in the nose of the HotWire Carabiner making it more efficient for clipping and unclipping bolts as well as clipping in a rope. It is the ultimate carabiner, perfect for everything from sport climbing to alpine or ice routes.
