As an HMS, or pear-shaped carabiner, the Pirate easily accommodates the use of a wide range of gear, webbing or ropes – either as a belay biner at the harness, or as a connector in a system. The Pirate’s robust 0.5″ diameter round frame will endure abuse from dirty ropes and metal connectors far beyond stamped carabiners with thin edges. The Pirate’s durability matched with Rock Exotica’s build quality ensures an impressive service life for the working professional or recreational enthusiast.
The 3-stage Autocking carabiner features a pull-down and twist action — a motion that’s more intuitive and natural for your hand than lifting up and away from your palm.
We identified several surfaces where ropes and lanyards can be held up by the edges of the gate and sleeve, which can lead to dangerous cross-loading. The auto-lock gate sleeve is designed with beveled edges to minimize this risk and provide a smoother interior for interaction with the materials connected to the carabiner.
- Ergonomic pull-down and twist action
- Beveled edges provide smooth operating surfaces
- Large and ergonomic angled gate opening
