LARGE CAPACITY (HMS): The pear shape (HMS) offers a large internal capacity, making it perfect for organizing belay stations or connecting multiple ropes and slings. MUNTER HITCH READY: The wide, flat top bar is specifically designed to facilitate the use of a Munter hitch (Italian hitch) for belaying or lowering. ERGONOMIC DESIGN: The large size makes it easy to manipulate even with thick gloves, and the Keylock nose prevents snagging on webbing or anchors. WIDE GATE OPENING: Features a 28 mm gate opening, significantly larger than standard D-shapes, allowing for easy clipping of large diameter ropes or multiple items. HIGH STRENGTH: Rated to 27 kN on the major axis despite its lightweight aluminum construction (85g).
