SKU: BD210234
The LiteWire is a compact and durable wiregate carabiner designed for traditional climbing and extended use in demanding conditions. Thanks to its low weight and robust construction, it is a practical choice for organizing climbing equipment and assembling lightweight quickdraws.
The hot-forged construction allows material to be distributed efficiently, reducing weight where possible while maintaining strength in high-stress areas. An enlarged rope-bearing surface improves durability and helps reduce wear during regular use.
The specially shaped upper section facilitates efficient rope clipping and unclipping, while the lower basket helps keep webbing securely positioned when used with climbing protection and quickdraws.
The wiregate design provides smooth operation and reduces the likelihood of freezing in cold conditions. Made from 7075 aluminum alloy containing 25% pre-consumer recycled aluminum, the LiteWire combines low weight, durability, and practical functionality for traditional and alpine climbing.
