The Petzl ATTACHE BAR Carabiner is a versatile, pear-shaped locking carabiner designed to enhance safety and ease of use in climbing and mountaineering activities. When used with the removable BAR, it becomes a unidirectional carabiner, promoting loading along the major axis for optimal performance during belaying or glacier travel. The H-shaped frame reduces weight without compromising strength, and the round-stock basket provides a smooth surface for the rope, facilitating easier belaying with devices like the VERSO, REVERSO, or a Munter hitch.
- Unidirectional Loading: With the removable BAR, the carabiner orients to load along the major axis, enhancing safety and comfort during belaying or glacier roping.
- Enhanced Security: The BAR cannot be closed unless the gate is fully locked, reducing the risk of user error. Additionally, the carabiner gate cannot be accidentally unlocked when the BAR is in the closed position.
- Smooth Rope Operation: The round-stock basket ensures a smooth surface for the rope, aiding in efficient belaying with a Munter hitch, VERSO, or REVERSO.
- Lightweight Design: The H-shaped frame optimizes the strength-to-weight ratio, making the carabiner suitable for various climbing and mountaineering applications.
- Easy Handling: The SCREW-LOCK locking system offers a good grip and effective locking, while the Keylock system and smooth nose prevent snagging during use. The design allows for easy handling, even when wearing mountaineering gloves.
