{"product_id":"dmm-alpha-pro-straight-gate-carabiner","title":"DMM Alpha Pro Straight Gate Carabiner","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe believe the Alpha Pro is the ultimate solid gate, sport climbing biner. And here’s why:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you do a lot of sport climbing a solid gate design makes sense. Bolt hangers can be very unforgiving of lightweight biners, particularly if you are dogging about and taking repeated redpoint falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Alpha Pro is robust and strong enough to cope with the typical sport climbing scenarios, but what really makes it stand out from the crowd is its exceptional handling qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe distinctive shape of the carabiner is no accident. The kinked back bone and grippy groove pattern on the apex of the spine are there for a reason. These biners are very easy to handle – something we are certain you will appreciate when stretching up to make that just-in-reach, gripper clip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTop tip: You should always try to clip bolts or pegs with the same end of the quickdraw. The reason being that a fall can cause the bolt hanger to gouge out a small, but sharp edged groove in the rope basket of the biner. If you then switch to clipping your rope through the same biner you will probably damage the sheath if you fall off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eStrength (Gate Open) : 9 kn \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eStrength (Gate Closed) : 24 kn \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eStrength (Minor Axis) : 8 kn \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eGate Openning : 22mm \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWeight: 44 g\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Gear Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49994898669805,"sku":"DMM-0203","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/6266\/2381\/files\/dmm-0203_1.jpg?v=1779288629","url":"https:\/\/gear-express-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/dmm-alpha-pro-straight-gate-carabiner","provider":"Gear Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
