At only 23g (that's less than 1 oz.!), the C.A.M.P. USA® Nano 23 wiregate carabiner keeps your alpine rack light and lean.

  • Despite its small size, the Nano 23's 21mm gate opening clips easily to a full-width rope
  • Stainless-steel wire operates as both gate and spring; low mass minimizes gate lash, a momentary opening of the 'biner's gate during falls
  • Dimensions 3.375 x 2 x 0.3 in.

Imported.

        Comments about C.A.M.P. USA Nano 23 Wiregate Carabiner:

        While building my trad rack I've tried to purchase the lightest weight gear while not overlooking usability and quality. I use these for racking all my cams and for 6 shoulder slings to extend pieces. I wondered if these might be more difficult to clip than my larger Metolius biners but I have so far not had any trouble. While the action of the Camp Nano biner isn't as sweet as a $12 DMM bent wiregate, it's at least 10 grams and 3 dollars less. Always easy to clip when placing gear on any route.A gripe, after filling most of my rack with these biners the price went up $1 each! I can't use these for all my racking needs. I still need large biners for things like stoppers and tricams. Also, when making yosemite style runners (tripled shoulder sling, two biners, racked on harness) the Nano is a little small to comfortably fit the Blue Water 9/16" spectra slings so I use the larger/heavier Metolius and DMM bent wiregates for this application.All in all, very happy with these!

        Comments about C.A.M.P. USA Nano 23 Wiregate Carabiner:

        I was first introducted to this biner at the base of "Bloody Fingers" in the City of Rocks. Some trad Climber had his whole rack of slings and cams loaded with these Nano's. As he passed me his rack I instantly noticed how light the rack was. It was noticably lighter.
        I decided to shell out the $$$ for 13 dyneema 24" slings with two Nano's per sling. I love them so much I've left my sport quickdraws in the car and taken these instead.
        Remember hours sorting gear after big outings with your Climbing partner? These Nano's look so different than everyone elses gear, they instantly know its my gear. No more looking for tape, paint, or other markings.
        Small draw back to these is the gate is strong. What I mean is it takes a little too much force to open the gate.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about C.A.M.P. USA Nano 23 Wiregate Carabiner:

        These are the lightest 'biners on the market, and it doesn't hurt that they're affordable too.

        Part of the weight savings comes from the small size. For those who are climbing on Twin/Half ropes often, or for mountaineers who use mittens, the 'biner and gate opening might be a bit small.

        Personally, the slightly smaller gate is worth it in order to save the weight on long alpine ascents. For those who need a full-size ultralight wiregate, check out the Mammut Moses, or the Wild Country Helium.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about C.A.M.P. USA Nano 23 Wiregate Carabiner:

        This is my standard biner. At first I bought it just for ultralight alpine routes where I carry the gear more than actually use it. It's amazing how only a dozen quickdraws set up with these will save you a full pound over many other standard biners. I like the new color too - the dingy gold was easy to confuse with buddies' bd nutrinos. It is a little short so if you pair two - they need to be a matched pair in order to share the load evenly.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
