The ergonomic Alpha shape combines with a curved gate to make clipping easy. Once the rope is clipped, deep rope baskets help ensure the carabiner is correctly oriented.
Carbon steel construction lets Alpha Steel handle the heavy use of modern walls. Generous rope radii give softer catches and extend rope life, while a captive bar can be fitted for easy inspection and maintenance.
Alpha steel features DMM's Ibeam construction that reduces carabiner weight without compromising strength. It is achieved through hot forging, which allows metal to be formed in complex shapes that improve functionality.
The Alpha Steel is suited to areas of high wear such as first bolts, crux bolts, or changes in direction.
DMM is an awesome recreational climbing and mountaineering equipment company from Llanberis North Wales. Founded in 1981 they still make and test all their gear from home.
