Carabiners: lockers, non lockers, HMS, large, small, round stock, etc. The market is flooded with so many different carabiners from so many different manufacturers. How do we choose the right ones for the job?

Lockers vs. non lockers - where is it imperative that we use locking carabiners and more importantly why? Any single attachment point requires the added security of a locking carabiner. I hope we can all agree to belay our climbing partners using a locking carabiner (and device). Any tether or clove hitch into an anchor, also a locker. Generally if there is redundancy in the system, locking carabiners are not necessary. For example, in the construction of an anchor with multiple legs, those points do not need to be lockers.

To break down the types of locking carabiners, there are: large, small and specialty. All come with a variety of locking mechanisms. I think of the large carabiners as rope movers, I use these for my belay device and tying hitches. Bonus points if it’s a round stock carabiner which helps the rope run smoothly. The small locking carabiners are more of a connector, these carabiners I use for: hanging my ATC from the anchor when belaying from above, connection to an anchor via my tether on rappel and my third hand backup.

I generally shy away from specialty equipment because I find it’s uses are limited. However, any specialty carabiner with a mechanism to keep the carabiner oriented properly is great for glacier travel.

Stay tuned for tomorrow when I’ll dissect my kit for multi pitch rock and alpine climbing.
