Collection: Carabiners & Connectors

Carabiners and connectors for tree climbing systems, rigging and gear organization. Pick a connector by the job it does in your system:

• Locking carabiners: triple-lock, twist-lock, ball-lock and screw-lock models from Petzl (AM'D, OK, WILLIAM, SM'D), DMM, ISC, Rock Exotica, Notch, Weaver, ProClimb and U.S. Rigging.
• Frame shapes: HMS and pear shapes with room for hitches and multiple connections, D and offset D shapes, and ovals that keep pulleys and devices centered.
• Steel or aluminum: steel carabiners from Petzl, DMM, ISC and Rock Exotica hold up to abrasion from rigging and wire-core lanyards, while aluminum saves weight on your climbing side.
• Swivel and captive-eye connectors: DMM Director, Rock Exotica SwivaBiner and ISC swivel captive-eye carabiners that keep lanyards and slings aligned, plus Petzl ROLLCLIP pulley carabiners.
• Snap hooks and accessory clips: Notch triple action snap hooks, fliplines and prusiks fitted with snaps, and non-locking DMM, Edelrid and Rock Exotica accessory carabiners for racking gear, not for life support.

Check gate function before every climb and follow the manufacturer's inspection and retirement guidance. For swivels, rings and shackles, see rigging hardware, or browse all climbing hardware. Questions? Call our St. Peters, MO pro shop at (636) 667-8966.
