Black Diamond LiveWire Carabiner

Black Diamond LiveWire Carabiner description

Black Diamond designed the LiveWire Carabiner for sport, trad, and ice climbers who want a big, easy-to-clip carabiner with all the advantages of a lightweight wire gate.

Bottom Line: Whether you call it the big one, the light one, or the strong one, the Black Diamond LiveWire carabiner is the one for you when light weight and reliability are key.

This wire gate is big, easy to use, and nice for all types of climbing. It also works well as a key chain.

I ordered these by accident. I usually use the Black Diamond Hotwire. The Livewire's are a bit bigger than the hotwires. I'll stick with Hotwire's in the future. Light is right- But, these are a nice oval shape, good for clipping when you're pumped.

Gotta love the 25KN main axis rating of most BD biners. This is a good size for easy clips, I use cosmetic seconds of these on most of my alpine draws because I'm into well built cheap gear. Not the lightest, but definitely not a heavy weight.

This thing sets the rope in so nicely and makes the rope so easy to clip when you are pumped out. Don't leave home without it.
