Winter game changer

3 years ago

I put these on my ice climbing gear and it has made a huge difference! When your pumped and frozen with gloves on you need the biggest clean nose biner you can get to make things easier. These are also very light and easy to clip. On of my friends who bought the small petzl ange biners for weight savings tried my helium's and decided to sell the petzls that day. If you can stomach the cost of these or the camp dyon's don't even look at anything else.

Perfect for cams and alpine draws

4 years ago

I swapped over all of my BD and Totem cams and alpine draws to use Heliums. They're so much lighter than alternatives, especially those that come standard with most cams. The flush construction of the nose makes these ideal for alpine draws since nothing can get caught on the inside of the nose when extending the draw or when clipping a rope. Nothing beats it.

Great carabiner, bad advertising

1 year ago

Large carabiner with great ergonomics. I wish they'd stop advertising them as lightweight though. These are possibly the heaviest racking carabiners on the market. If you want great handling for hard redpoints, these are great. If you want lightweight though these are not for you.

This is my new favorite carabiner for racking cams. Weighs roughly 14g heavier than a BD MiniWire (making it about 37% heavier), but that difference is outweighed by the larger, easier to handle size, the slightly larger gate opening, and the bent gate shape. Comes in all the colors you'd need for your rack.

One of the best wiregate carabiners ever made. The only detractors is the wide nose that doesn’t fit very well when clipping pitons. Everything else is fantastic. Wide gate, great strength and light!

Best racking carabiner

11 months ago

Honestly the best carabiner for racking and alpines. The nose never gets snagged on anything, and I love how lightweight they are. Prefect addition to my rack.

Good size for gloved use. I love the snag free nose, but wish it was just a bit narrower for getting into tight spots like chains or crowded bolt hangers.

Full size makes it easy to handle and clip. Hooded no snag nose is key and isn't as wide as the originals. Good strengths and they look pretty!

My favorite "feel"

Hard to put into words why I like these so much, they just feel the best to clip and they handle really nicely.
