Grivel K8G Sigma Twin Gate climbing carabiner
Grivel K8G Sigma Twin Gate climbing carabiner is revolutionary and designed for belaying maneuvers, with single or double ropes.
K8G Sigma has a D shape and is made with the same metal used for ice axe handles, hot forged, in aluminum 7000, ensuring excellent strength, durability, and lightness.
The Twin Gate closure system designed by the French company offers climbers new safety standards and has been awarded the prestigious Compasso d'Oro for design applied to safety. It is based on two levers, one curved key-lock and one straight, which open in opposite directions on the same side of the carabiner.
Twin Gate is one of the safest closure systems in the world; it cannot be opened without applying two opposing forces on the two levers, and there is no risk of the rope or other devices slipping out. This technology also ensures quick and comfortable use compared to carabiners with screw or automatic closures.
