CAMP Steel Oval Pro

Steel is significantly more durable and resistant to wear than aluminum, making it the better choice for heavy-duty rigging, rescue operations, or situations where the carabiner will be in contact with steel cables or abrasive surfaces for long periods.

The oval geometry is designed to keep pulleys, ascenders, and descenders centered and properly aligned under load. It prevents the gear from shifting, which helps maintain a stable and predictable connection in your technical systems.

The automatic two-action gate requires you to twist the sleeve and then pull the gate open. This dual-action design provides an extra layer of security against accidental opening compared to a standard screw-lock or non-locking gate.

No, the keylock nose design is specifically engineered to be snag-free. It creates a smooth, flush connection between the gate and the carabiner body, so it won't catch on ropes, slings, or harness gear loops.

While it is a high-strength, reliable carabiner, its steel construction makes it heavier than standard aluminum climbing carabiners. It is best suited for technical rigging, rescue, and industrial work rather than lightweight sport or alpine climbing.
