Black Diamond Oval Keylock Carabiner

The iconic, symmetrical Oval biner has been a favourite of many American climbers since it was first invented by Raffi Bedayn in 1947, when big walls were 45-day ascents and men were men. This biner has stood the test of time, and now has a new Keylock snag-free design. With its large rope-bearing surface, improved ease of use, and smooth uniform shape that reduces carabiner shift, the Oval is a staple on any big wall rack.
