Details

Purpose built for the bolt-side of quickdraws, the HotForge is the most durable bolt-side carabiner Black Diamond ever built, while its straight gate makes clipping bolts nice and easy. Featuring a hot forged construction that removes weight where it’s not needed and adds material where durability is key - the HotForge has a deeper basket for better clipping, while the hinge-end basket is flatter to ensure the webbing of quickdraws stays put. A larger rope bearing surface adds durability for the carabiner, while the flats on the gate reduce the likelihood of the gate opening accidentally. Its updated and optimized nose geometry allows for efficient clipping and unclipping from bolts.
