Rock Climbing Carabiners | Which Carabiner is Best for Climbing

[@PrAlx38]

Dude keep these videos coming! We are going on our last guided climb this weekend and then will be venturing out on our own. Love these videos to verify techniques and get a better overall understanding.

[@summitseekersexperience]

for sure, have fun!!!

[@syed0000]

Great video! Also nice to have randomly met you on a trail in the Carolinas! 😁

[@summitseekersexperience]

Nice dude, great seeing you out there!!!

If your looking for a neat wire gate carabiner that works it’s way around the nose hook issue look into the BD oz I absolutely love them they have a small hood over the hook so you don’t need to worry about it getting caught on anything I personally love them for that reason

[@DVMCellini]

The bob ross of climbing. Love it. 🧗‍♀️

[@Explore067]

I love your content, so helpful. Thank you for the knowledge

[@nicacrush]

What type of carabineers would you use for the master point on a top rope anchor? I bought two steel d shaped but I'm thinking hms might be better since they are smoother for the rope to run through.

[@summitseekersexperience]

HMS would be the best fit for this application for sure.

[@carravagio16]

what is your take on the Grivel double gate locking HMS style. was thinking of picking up a pair for my quad top rope master point anchor. Thanks in advance

[@summitseekersexperience]

mmmm... I'm more of a traditional guy so I prefer screw gates in nearly all applications. One triple lock maybe for clipping clients into lowering systems or something like that.

[@Vim_Tim]

If you like it, use it! Most climbers I know prefer carabiners that are easy to operate with 1 hand (screw-lock or twist-lock). Opposed screw-lock carabiners are extremely safe for master points.

[@dannyjones9387]

so what carabiner would you recommend for beginner climbing?

[@chriskaplan6109]

nice yard and very educational, thanks Jason!

[@robertburke516]

Great info, thank you!

Do you try to match the colour of your gear instead of been a glowing rainbow 🌈 or do you used some colour for easy identification of different gear.

[@CaptainFlips]

I've heard that the tooth on wire-gates can be quite problematic and even dangerous but you never mentioned anything like that. Is it something to keep in mind?

[@Vim_Tim]

"Dangerous" sounds like an overstatement considering the majority of wire carabiners have some nose hook. There are plenty of "protected nose" options like Petzl Ange, Wild Country Helium, Camp Dyon. These are great carabiners but they're slightly heavier and about 2x more expensive. If snagging is a huge concern, I would just go with a solid-gate carabiner instead.

[@MB-jg4tr]

​​@@Vim_TimHelium's have become a favorite but the gate shroud is so thick, it's difficult or impossible to get them into some smaller things. I'm loving CAMP Dyon's for the super thin nose. Solid gate biners can flutter open

[@milomodo]

What’s your opinion on a couple of quickdraws with locking carabiners on the rope clip. I was thinking using a couple on a route, one at the first or second anchor and another somewhere up the route to ensure they don’t unclip just incase of an accident fall.

[@huemanatee2466]

I use them on the anchors if I'm leading a climb that someone wants to top rope after me

[@JacobLikesMusic]

There are wiregate carabiners with keylock design nowadays, so the hook is not necessary.

[@Vim_Tim]

Yes, but they're much more expensive than even the solid-gate options. Those advanced options are the expensive "middle-ground" between snag-less and lightweight and IMO not worth the price.

[@isaack6994]

Sneaky trango ad?

[@summitseekersexperience]

They supplied the carabiners... although I already had a lot of theirs

[@akaTheDevil]

Bold with the mustache

[@summitseekersexperience]

I shaved it off recently, my wife said there was too much masculinity in the house even though I have three daughters

[@DVMCellini]

I bought a purple one from a gas station I climbed El Cap with. Seemed fine but something happened and now I can’t breathe or walk.

[@razvanrazvan3501]

Don't forget about oval carabiners.

[@JillianPratt-kb2tt]

It's caraBINEr. Stop offending people. Name one other word where "ine" is pronounced like bean. There isn't one.

[@TM-ic1eb]

Carbine rifle, bine=bean 😂😂
