LiteWire Carabiner

The Black Diamond LiteWire Carabiner comes in a color to match your trad rack of Camalots perfectly. Despite its lighter weight, this carabiner has a larger rope-bearing surface for seasons of long-lasting durability. Black Diamond tweaked the geometry of the nose to facilitate easier clipping and unclipping commonly missing from wire gates.

My go to non-locker

Really nice, light non-locker. Even with the nose I haven’t had any problems.

The standard

These guys are the standard medium size wide opening carabiner, conveniently in color coding that matches BD sizing. Keyed gates and narrow noses on carabiners are sometimes preferred for specific uses where you may need to frequently clip/unclip, or clip to crowded anchors/bolts, but these are primarily just for racking gear, where the most important thing you can have is organization and those other things matter a lot less. After all, if you’re having trouble UN-clipping a piece (when you follow, which is when you typically do that), you can just have your belayer take weight.

Strong and lite

Just like the name says it’s lite. Gate function is smooth. Looking forward to testing them out.

Favourite small wire gate

The miniwires and other tiny biners are just too small for my massive hands haha. The litewires are perfect for me for a nice lightweight wire gate. I've got them on my cams and as alpine draws. Love em! Yes, there's a bit of weight penalty, especially when you have like 20 of them, but I'm 200 lbs and can shave weight in other areas haha! I'll take the weight over frustrating clips.

Litewire biner

Solid and they do their job. Color coordinating with C4's make it easier to find your pro when sketched out on a runout climb.
