The ultralight Black Diamond VaporLock locking carabiner is an ideal choice for belaying, lowering and rappelling.

  • Minimalist pear-shape design has a wide basket to allow use of a Munter hitch on ropes up to 9.4mm
  • When used in conjunction with an ATC the VaporLock effectively increases friction up to 30% during lowering or rappelling, helping maximize control
  • Made from anodized aluminum for lasting service
  • The sleeve locks on the gate, eliminating the possibility of the 'biner being over-tightened or ''frozen'' when loaded
  • Keylock nose will not snag on bolts or gear while clipping and unclipping

Please note: Black Diamond products can only be shipped to the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Made in USA.
