Cross-loading carabiners are a thing of the past with the ATTACHE BAR. When used with the removable BAR, the pear-shaped ATTACHE carabiner is a versatile tool. It becomes a unidirectional carabiner, oriented to load the major axis and maximizing ease of use when belaying or using ropes for glacier travel. It has an H-frame to keep the weight low and the round-stock basket creates a smooth surface for the rope to run over, for easier belaying with the VERSO, REVERSO, or a Munter hitch.
Unidirectional ATTACHE carabiner with BAR: Removable BAR orients the carabiner to load the major axis for ease when belaying or using ropes for glacier travel BAR cannot be closed if the gate is not fully locked, limiting the risk of user error Carabiner gate cannot be accidentally unlocked when BAR is installed in the closed position ATTACHE carabiner without BAR: Round-stock basket provides a smooth surface for the rope to run over when belaying with a Munter hitch, VERSO, or REVERSO Partial H-frame optimizes the strength-to-weight ratio Pear-shape design is versatile for climbing and mountaineering Easy to use: SCREW-LOCK locking system provides good handling and effective locking Keylock system and smooth nose help prevent the carabiner from snagging during use Easy to use when wearing mountaineering gloves
