The Rock Exotica Pirate Karabiner 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 round frame will endure abuse from dirty ropes and metal connectors far beyond stamped karabiners 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 Pirate features a snag-resistant keylock nose design with a large and ergonomic angled gate opening. On top of this, Rock Exotica 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 bevelled edges to minimize this risk and provide a smoother interior for interaction with the materials connected to the karabiner.

The 3-stage autolocking karabiner features a pull-down and twist action – a motion that is more intuitive and natural for your hand than lifting up and away from your palm.
