How to Choose Carabiners
Petzl Ange S Wiregate Carabiner
$14.95
Reduce the weight of your rack and quickdraws with the Petzl Ange S Wiregate carabiner. It features an innovative MonoFil Keylock wiregate system that shaves weight and is smooth and easy to operate.
- MonoFil Keylock wiregate system blends the strength and fluidity of a standard spring gate with the lightness of a wiregate
- Ange S Wiregate carabiner weighs only 28g—that's 21g lighter than the popular Petzl Spirit Straight Gate carabiner
- Straight keylock nose lets you clip and unclip slings, bolt hangers, nuts and cams without snagging; hole in the nose allows ice, snow and dirt to be cleared out
- Surfaces that come into contact with the climbing rope are wider than other parts of the carabiner for smooth passage of the rope and reduced wear on the carabiner
- Indent at the bottom of the Ange S carabiner keeps a sling properly positioned
- Black deflector at the bottom of the gate works with the shape of the carabiner to keep proper position of the carabiner on its major axis

The best for it's purpose
13 years ago
For their intended use, I think that the Ange is quite simply the best carabiner in the world. What's the intended use? Well, they make an incredible bolt end carabiner. I have never found that a big carabiner is necessary for the bolt end of a draw, because you're not fiddling around with clipping a rope. Instead, the Ange has a gate that's easy to open with one finger and clip into a bolt, a nut or a hex. I use other, bigger carabiners to clip the rope, but these are the lightest, smoothest clipping keylock carabiners on the market, and if you're going to use them for the right thing, then there's nothing better.

Fantastic For Draws

I have average sized hands for an adult male, with relatively thick fingers. It took me a while to adapt to the relatively small gate opening, but I eventually was able to adapt and I no longer have issues with handling these carabiners, even with thin gloves on. The key lock design is very secure, and less susceptible to accidental opening than most other designs. I haven’t had any issues with the carabiners accidentally getting nose hooked or crossloaded. If you use these carabiners on the rope side of your draws, the rope can get hung up on the gate while clipping. However, I don’t think it is a big deal. I think the reduced weight and additional gate security is worth the slightly increased difficulty of clipping.

Seems like a good idea but too small

Was thinking about switching to these on all my alpine draws, but after working with them for a bit just didn't like how small they are. The small rounded gate is more difficult to manipulate than wire gates or bent gates. Maybe the ANGE L will be better

This carabiner is easy to use and the silver color does lose its finish. I have used it repeatedly in rain, snow, salt air - no degradation. Not having a “hook” in the gate keeps it from snagging.
