Carabiners and rock climbing are synonymous with each other. They are the basic tool of the rock climber. The design aim is to offer the best balance between weight, breaking strength and durability within the constraint of the particular purpose in mind. Bogong has carabiners available in many sizes, styles and designs. Also known as Karabiners, however you spell them you are going to need them!
Carabiners are available in every shape option. The oval carabiner is the original style and features uniform curves to limit load shifting. They can be used for carabiner-brake rappels. Read More
The gate options for clip gate carabiners are straight, bent gate, and wire gate. Carabiners that feature solid gates are the most common and are typically used for bolts, quickdraws and protection. Bent gate carabiners feature a concave gate and are designed for use only on the end of a quickdraw or runner. They are easier to clip with your rope. Wire gate carabiners contain stainless steel wire as the gate.
Carabiners also come in locking and non locking options. A locking carabiner provides additional protection against accidental gate-openings and is often used for belaying. The most common type is the screwgate. If you need a climbing carabiner, you'll find it at Bogong.
