The Klettersteig’s wide gate opening makes it particularly suitable for clipping oversize items, or simply allows ease of use in more normal situations.
The I-Beam Kletterstieg’s wide gate opening of 26mm combines with its extended top bar and high internal volume to give ease of use with thick webbing and ropes. These characteristics also make it easy to use while wearing gloves. High major and minor axis strengths give appropriate safety margins for rescue and heavy-duty applications.
Klettersteig carabiners are wide, maximising gate opening and the internal working volumes for ease of use with gloves, thick ropes, and wide webbing. They also encourage loading in their strongest orientation by forcing loads toward the carabiner spine.
The gate opening is the distance between the nose of a carabiner and the gate when it is fully opened. Larger gate openings make a carabiner easier to use while wearing gloves, and with thick ropes and slings. Internal volume refers to the area inside a carabiner, and large internal volumes mean easier attachment and removal of multiple devices, knots and slings.
Stainless steel is better at withstanding corrosion than aluminium alloy and carbon steel, making it suitable for use in marine and other harsh environments.
