VaporLock Screwgate

Product Information

For those looking to trim ounces without sacrificing functionality, the Black Diamond VaporLock Screwgate carabiner is a solid pick. It's Black Diamond's lightest full-function pear-shaped locker, designed to give you enhanced control during belays and rappels, especially on long free climbs or when you're aiming to lighten your rack. This carabiner works beautifully for dynamic belaying with an ATC or a Munter Hitch.

This isn't just about weight savings, though. The VaporLock is engineered to increase friction, making your belay and rappel operations smoother and more controlled.
