Black Diamond Hotwire Carabiner

The carabiner that initiated the wiregate revolution, the newly improved Black Diamond HotWire carabiner, is an essential component of any climber's rack, thanks to its adaptability. Whether it's used at either end of a quickdraw, for racking cams, or on alpine slings, the HotWire proves itself as a highly versatile wire gate carabiner. With its updated geometry and hot-forged design, which enables the removal of excess weight where unnecessary and the addition of material where durability is crucial, the updated HotWire features a deeper basket for improved clipping. Additionally, the hinge-end basket is flatter, ensuring more secure webbing hold on quickdraws. The increased rope-bearing surface enhances durability, not only for the carabiner itself but also for the rope. The nose geometry has also been optimised for smoother rope clipping and easier clipping and unclipping from bolts. The HotWire is a modern classic, perfect for everything from after-work sport climbing to big-wall free climbing and long alpine ice routes.
