Construction and materials
The HotForge Screwgate is made from forged aluminum, offering a robust and lightweight construction. The forged manufacturing optimizes mechanical strength while reducing weight, making this pack particularly suitable for fast climbs and lightweight mountaineering.
Safety and mechanical performance
Each carabiner displays clear strength values: 24 kN in longitudinal load, 8 kN in transverse load, and 8 kN open gate. The 18 mm gate opening allows for common attachments and facilitates the setup of anchors and belays.
Closure system and Keylock nose
The screwgate closure system ensures reliable safety during handling, while the Keylock nose minimizes snagging risks and dirt or ice buildup. The locking sleeve is textured for a visual and tactile reference during locking.
Ergonomics and recommended uses
The asymmetric D shape ensures a good grip and geometry suitable for mast hoisting, building belays, and use with the LINK Anchor system. This pack is suitable for top rope climbing, creating belays, accommodating a clove hitch, and for mountain activities where weight matters.
Contents and practical specifications
The pack includes 3 grey carabiners, lightweight total weight (approximately 150 g per pack according to the technical sheet) and compact dimensions. Designed as a Type B (Basic) locking connector, it meets safety standards and technical uses of modern climbing.
