Climbing Technology presents Tuner and OVX

Advertorial: Designed by CLIMBING TECHNOLOGY for mountaineering and rock climbing, TUNER is an I-shaped lanyard with adjustable length (15 to 102 cm), ideal to secure yourself to the belay anchor and adjust your position there. Very easy to use, thanks to its design TUNER I allows a quick and precise adjustment of the climber's distance from the anchor. The release of the lanyard is very intuitive and easy even under load, by holding the device and using the release button, all with one hand only. TUNER I is made from dynamic rope, so as to reduce the shock transmitted to the climber in the event of a fall, and comes equipped with OVX, a very compact carabiner, and Fix-O, a rubber ring that eliminates the rotation and the loading of the carabiner along the minor axis. The functioning of the device is independent from the shape of the carabiner in use. Very easy to install, TUNER I can be connected to the belay loop on the harness via a girth hitch. Weight: 143 g (including OVX carabiner) More info on ClimbingTechnology.com

OVX oval carabiner by CLIMBING TECHNOLOGY is ideal for rock climbing and mountaineering applications, from racking gear to rigging in rope manoeuvres. The oval shape of OVX allows the optimal placement of equipment and ropes and, thanks to its dimensions (it is only 9.5 cm long), leaves more room for manoeuvres. In addition, this hot-forged light-alloy carabiner features a catch-free closure and tapered nose, for a smoother clipping and unclipping of the carabiner and to reduce the chances of ropes, gear or anchors snagging on it. The increased cross-section of the body at contact points improves rope glide and wear resistance. CLIMBING TECHNOLOGY OVX is available without locking sleeve, with screwgate (SG) and with the ACL system (OVX SGL), which makes the carabiner ideal for use on the harness belay loop as it keeps carabiner and device in the correct position, even during the most demanding manoeuvres. Weight: 58 g (screwgate version).
