  • @migusch what dangerous is there with the fixation rubber?

  • Great tutorial, thanks.

  • Still no explanation why you recommend straight gate biners only?

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • great vid

  • thanks for the video.

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

  • thx for this nice tutorial!
