Grivel Plume Evo Wire HMS Carabiner

Ski mountaineering places unique demands on climbing hardgoods. In particular, thin ropes, icy conditions, and gloved hands are a few factors that make carabiner choice essential. Fortunately for ski mountaineers and alpinists, the Grivel Plume Twin Gate HMS carabiner is easier and quicker to use than it is to pronounce. The ultralight, round-stock forged aluminum body puts minimal twists in the rope, and the HMS shape is optimized for belaying and rappelling, with ample room for hitches or multiple carabiners at anchors. Grivel's Plume Twin Gate HMS also features twin steel wire gates, a unique locking design that resists icing, even when left at an anchor for hours- a nightmare situation for traditional screwgate lockers. Optimized for the unique demands of alpine climbing and ski mountaineering, the Grivel Plume Twin Gate HMS is a must-have tool for steep snow-and-ice shenanigans.

• The HMS shape provides ample space for knots, belay devices, and multiple connections while maintaining smooth rope flow.
• The unique twin-gate system uses two opposing steel-wire gates, reducing the risk of accidental opening and maintaining functionality in dirt, ice, and cold conditions.
• Despite looking complex, the twin gates are surprisingly easy to operate, even with gloves.
• If you think this carabiner's name is a mouthful, don't bother with the full German term for HMS (Halbmastwurfsicherung).
