Designed for Via Ferrata

Via ferrata (klettersteig) routes present unique challenges with steel cables, iron rungs, and frequent clipping and unclipping. This steel klettersteig carabiner is specifically designed for these demanding conditions. The heavy-duty steel construction withstands the abrasion from steel cables and iron fixtures, while the twist lock gate provides secure closure that won't accidentally open during the dynamic movements common on via ferrata routes.

Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

Constructed from heavy-duty steel, this carabiner offers superior durability and wear resistance compared to aluminum alternatives. Steel construction is ideal for via ferrata applications where the carabiner repeatedly contacts steel cables and iron fixtures, which can quickly wear down softer materials. The robust steel construction ensures long-lasting performance even with frequent use in abrasive alpine environments.

Twist Lock Gate Mechanism

The twist lock gate mechanism provides secure closure that prevents accidental opening during use. To open the gate, you must twist the sleeve and then pull the gate open—this two-step process virtually eliminates the risk of accidental opening during climbing or rescue operations. The twist lock design is intuitive to operate even with gloves, making it ideal for alpine environments where you may be wearing protective gear.

16kN Breaking Strength

With a 16kN (3,597 lb) minimum breaking strength, this steel carabiner delivers professional-grade performance suitable for via ferrata, climbing, and rescue applications. The robust strength rating provides confidence when clipping into fixed cables, building anchor systems, or performing rescue operations where equipment reliability is critical.

Built for Alpine Environments

Alpine environments present unique challenges including temperature extremes, moisture, abrasion from rock and metal, and demanding use conditions. This steel klettersteig carabiner is engineered to perform reliably in these harsh conditions with corrosion-resistant coating, robust steel construction, and a secure locking mechanism that functions reliably even in challenging weather.

Perfect for Frequent Clipping

Via ferrata routes require frequent clipping and unclipping as you progress along the route. The twist lock gate is designed for this type of use, providing secure closure while being easy to operate repeatedly throughout your climb. The steel construction withstands the wear from frequent gate operation better than softer materials.

Versatile Professional Applications

While optimized for via ferrata, this steel carabiner is also suitable for climbing, rescue, arborist work, and industrial applications where you need durable steel construction and secure locking. The combination of steel durability, twist lock security, and 16kN strength makes it a versatile tool for various professional applications.

Corrosion-Resistant Finish

The protective coating guards against rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability even when exposed to moisture, weather, and challenging alpine conditions. The corrosion-resistant finish extends the service life of the carabiner and maintains its performance over years of use.

Robust and Reliable

At 0.62 lbs, this steel carabiner has the substantial construction needed for demanding via ferrata and professional applications. The weight reflects the heavy-duty steel materials and robust design required to withstand abrasive conditions and frequent use. When you need equipment that can handle tough conditions day after day, this steel klettersteig carabiner delivers.
