Black Diamond GridLock Screwgate Carabiner

The Black Diamond GridLock Screwgate is a purpose-built belay carabiner designed to help eliminate cross-loading and keep your belay setup correctly orientated.

Its innovative shape isolates the belay loop behind the gate, helping prevent the carabiner from shifting into a weaker cross-loaded position. The I-beam spine transitions into a large, rounded rope-bearing surface for smooth rope handling, making it an excellent choice for use with belay devices or a Munter Hitch.
