Edelrid HMS Strike Slider FG Locking Carabiner

The stride slider mechanism is designed to be easy to open with your thumb, but to resist being pushed or twisted open by the rope or a bolt hanger. It's a nice, natural motion for a belay carabiner. The locking mechanism is also low-profile enough to be rotated inside a hanger, a boon at awkward stations and in tight corners.

• Locking mechanism is low-profile and strong, resists 1kN of direct pressure
• Spring bar holds carabiner in place when belaying to prevent cross loading
• Keylock closure system for easier handling when clipping and unclipping
• H-profile construction reduces weight while maintaining strength
