The Grivel Tau Wire Lock is a multi-purpose carabiner with ergonomic shape. Very easy to use, it combines the efficient handling with safety, thanks to the innovative Wire-Lock system, in which the strength is given by the solid gate which is free to move, and the inside wire keeps the gate in the closed position. This design prevents the gate from opening accidentally and can be operated quickly. It's also easy to use one handed or with gloves, and it features a clean nose to prevent snagging on ropes or bolts. Ideal for many situations in climbing and mountaineering, for belaying, on personal anchors and on belays. Individually tested, with the date of testing and progressive number laser-marked on it.
