SALEWA Ortles HMS C.3 S climbing carabiner triple action

The Ortles HMS C.3 S carabiner from Salewa is a compact and lightweight mountain product, ideal for climbing and mountaineering where every gram and maximum safety make a difference. Characterized by a pear shape and reduced dimensions, this aluminum carabiner integrates the exclusive C.3 pull-and-lock locking system that allows you to vary the lever mode based on your needs: you can choose between the speed of a standard HMS and the total protection of a triple-action self-locking opening. Switching from standard locking to pull-twist locking is extremely intuitive and quick, ensuring immediate adaptation to the most critical situations, supported by a clearly visible locking indicator for instant visual control. Despite its small size, the optimized design offers a large lever opening and a keylock nose to prevent snagging, facilitating the management of multiple knots and preventing accidental catches during belaying maneuvers. The contact surface with the rope has been designed to be wide and uniform, ensuring smooth sliding and reducing wear on materials, while the lightweight structure maintains excellent breaking loads of 22 kN longitudinally, 9 kN laterally, and 8 kN with the lever open. Entirely made in Italy, the Ortles HMS C.3 S skillfully combines strength and maneuverability, becoming an indispensable ally for those seeking a reliable and versatile category 3 technical component for their belay systems.
