CAMP Photon Carabiner

The Photon is engineered specifically to be the lightest solid gate carabiner on the market. It achieves this by refining the body geometry to maintain structural rigidity while stripping away excess material, making it an ideal choice for climbers looking to reduce rack weight without switching to wire gates.

Yes, the slim nose profile combined with the SphereLock closure system creates a snag-free interface. This design significantly reduces the chance of the carabiner catching on your gear loops, slings, or the rope during clipping.

It is versatile enough for both. Because it features a solid gate and a keylock nose, it provides the tactile feedback and security preferred for sport climbing, while its lightweight profile makes it an excellent addition to a trad rack where every gram counts.

The SphereLock system is designed to be reliable and smooth in various environments. While all mechanical closures can be affected by heavy grit or ice, the refined geometry of the Photon's nose helps minimize debris buildup compared to traditional hook-nose designs.

Not at all. CAMP optimized the body design specifically to increase rigidity and strength, ensuring that the carabiner meets all necessary safety standards despite its minimalist construction.
