Climbing Technology presents Tuner and OVX
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).
