DMM Alpha Steel

Built for year round abuse, the DMM Alpha Steel is the perfect carabiner for use in a modern gym. With convenient features such as a keylock nose, and ergonomic design, this carabiner is not only incredibly hard wearing, but a pleasure to use as well!

Details:

- Climbing wall carabiner for durability
Alpha Sport carabiners are designed to be robust and give easy clipping. Hot forging allows us to put extra metal in areas of high wear, making these biners suitable for clipping bolts, repeated falls, and intensive use of modern climbing gyms.

- Bent gate for easy clipping
Our curved gate guides ropes into the carabiner during clipping. Grooves in the gate improve handling, and increase control when making tricky clips. Solid gate carabiners are suited to sport climbing, where ease of handling and resistance to wear are more important than weight.

- Keylock nose eliminates snagging
This carabiner’s nose slots into a groove in the gate, allowing it to achieve full strength without a gate notch. This creates a clean internal profile to prevent snagging on gear, bolts or slings, for easier clipping and stripping of routes.

- Ergonomic back design for positive handling and easy clipping
The Alpha’s shape fits naturally in the hand, and combines with its large gate opening to make the carabiner very easy to clip. Grooves on the back bar increase grip for confident handling.

- Hot forged from steel for strength and durability
Carbon Steel is used when very high strength and durability are more important than weight. Steel carabiners are often used in centre and wall environments where high wear and repeat falls are normal.
