Mammut Crag Keylock Carabiner

The keylock nose eliminates the small hook found on traditional carabiners, which prevents the gate from snagging on your rope, harness gear loops, or bolts. This makes clipping and unclipping much smoother and faster, especially when you are cleaning a route.

The bent gate is engineered to guide the rope into the carabiner more easily. It is specifically intended for the rope-end of a quickdraw, allowing you to clip the rope quickly and efficiently during a climb without fumbling.

While this carabiner is optimized for sport climbing, it can certainly be used for other disciplines. However, keep in mind that its bent-gate design is best suited for the rope-end of a quickdraw; for building anchors or racking cams, a straight-gate or wire-gate carabiner is often preferred.

Yes, the Mammut Crag Keylock is designed to be lightweight, which helps reduce the overall weight of your rack. This is a significant benefit when you are working on long, demanding sport routes where every extra gram matters.

The gate geometry is ergonomic, meaning it is designed to feel natural and smooth in your hand. It provides a consistent, reliable action that makes clipping straightforward even when you are pumped or in a high-pressure moment.
