BLACK DIAMOND HOTWIRE CARABINER

Ten years ago the HotWire Carabiner from Black Diamond started the wiregate revolution. And ten years later the award-winning HotWire is still leading the pack, offering the best balance of function, features and value in a wiregate biner. Use it alpine or trad climbing for its lightness or for its clippability when sport climbing.

The HotWire's slender, no-bulk wiregate has a firm action that is effortless to clip. In whiplash situations, the gate won’t freeze open or shut due to adverse conditions. Strong, light and super-clippable, the HotWire offers versatility for all types of climbing with its optimal blend of size and weight.

The HotWire won Rock & Ice Magazine's Best Overall Editor's Choice Award in October 2004.
