Great tutorial, thanks.

Still no explanation why you recommend straight gate biners only?

[jrbowens]

Be ver careful to loop the carabiner correctly after passing it through the other or the whole draw comes undone!

What has the fixation rubber to do with the bent gate? Nothing!

Fixation rubber is very dangerous! Don´t do that.

One straight gate and one bent gate helps you to distiguish between rope-end and bolt-end biners. I do it that way. The bolt-end biner gets small but sharp scars or burrs from certain kinds of bolts that may damage the rope when used at the rope-end as well. I also like (bent) wiregate-biners on the rope end to prevent open-gate loading of the biner.

@migusch what dangerous is there with the fixation rubber?

rodrigosprimo:

only if the bent gate has a fixation rubber on it.

accidents have happend where the sling got clipped out, and the climber thought it wasn't because it was hanging in the rubber.

thanks for the video.

Question: Is there a safety-related reason you don't use bent-gate biners?

[rodrigosprimo]

@cjdrover I also would like to know why bent-gate biners are not recommended?
