    This product is for…

    Climbers who top-rope or sport crag frequently and want a masterpoint locker that won't wear out quickly. Hosts consistently recommend buying two for the anchor masterpoint.

    Worth noting…

    The body is aluminum with a steel plate only in the basket/rope-bearing zone, so it's not a full steel carabiner. It costs more than a standard aluminum locker but hosts say the durability justifies it; one notes it will last many years before the insert wears down.
