1. MEGA K6G Pear shaped carabiner, double straight gates. Very large carabiner for belaying with Munter hitch and for rappelling, with single or double ropes. 2. LAMBDA K7G Pear shaped carabiner wire gate plus key-lock bend gate. Large carabiner for belaying with Munter hitch and for rappelling, with single or double ropes. 3. SIGMA K8G D-shape carabiner, wire gate plus key-lock bend gate. 4. PLUME G The evolution of the TwinGate system continues with the double wire carabiner. Super light carabiner with super light double wire gate. Only 39 grams for the safest wire carabiner. A clever S-design of the first wire offers the key-lock benefit. • Bomb proof Twingate \patented system • Two wire gates for minimum weight (39 grams!) • S wire design with key lock effect • Hot drop forged 5. SYM The symmetrical carabiner was the first option in connectors and also today its smooth and symmetrical shape is a beloved choice for simplicity and manoeuvrability. Because of its shape though the load is shared equally between the spine side and gate side of the carabiner. Grivel solved this problem of resistance using the Twin Gate solution, which keeps the strength at a highest level compared to other symmetrical carabiners.

The second problem with the old symmetrical carabiners was the small opening of the gate: Grivel solved this problem with a side rotation of the doors that a lows a very big opening, keeping all the safety features. • Bomb proof twingate patented system • Proven symmetrical shape • Symmetrical shape that prevents shifting • Side movement for a large gate opening • Rounded and large surface for rope and belay loop • Hot drop forged 6. CLEPSYDRA The main problem with the belay carabiner on the harness has always been to keep it in the correct position both with and without the rope. Same problem in rappelling. Grivel has designed a totally new carabiner where a simple second wire gate isolates the belay loop and keeps the proper orientation even with the carabiner door open. To place the Clepsydra is a totally automatic and intuitive operation. • Bomb proof twingate patented system • Second wire gate isolating the belay loop for belaying or rappelling • Closed belay loop even with the carabiner’s door open • Totally automatic operation • Rounded and large surface for rope and belay loop • Hot drop forged 7. S1G Pear shaped steel carabiner, wire gate plus key-lock straight gate. Very large carabiner for belaying. Steel adapted to severe use conditions. Suitable for indoor wall as a top carabiner.
