- Page 2 (EN) The carabiner is an essential link for vertical activities. Unfortunately, its strength is reduced when used incorrectly. With a frame shaped by bending or forging, a carabiner is very strong provided it is loaded in the correct direction and the gate is closed.
- Page 3 (EN) Warning : “Lever effect” Warning : lever effect Descent A metal device, such as a descender, can act as a lever on the gate of a carabiner. Loading such a device when it is positioned against the gate of a carabiner may cause the locking sleeve to break.
- Page 4 (EN) Tying in Tying in Lanyard Tying into the rope must be done directly, without using a carabiner. In certain situations where the risk of a fall is reduced (top roping, glacier travel…), two locking carabiners may be used to tie in. Attachment of the lanyard Use a maillon rapide, a lark’s foot knot, or 2 carabiners.
- Page 5 (EN) Via ferrata Via ferrata Clipping into an anchor Fit STRING to the end of your lanyard to help keep the carabiners in the correct position and reduce the risk of incorrect loading. Always connect two carabiners to the cable. Position the gates towards you and not towards the rock face.
- Page 6 (EN) Clipping the rope Clipping the rope Take care to clip the rope correctly. Correctly placing the rope into the carabiner reduces the risk of unclipping. – Self-unclipping of the carabiner from the anchor (a). – Unclipping of the rope caused by whiplash effect (b). Learn to clip correctly using only one hand.
- Page 7 (EN) Length of the sling Length of the sling Impact and vibration The strength of a carabiner is greatly reduced if the gate opens at the moment of impact (Some carabiners have a gate-open strength of only 6 kN. Beware : this value is easily reached at the last point of protection).
- Page 8 (EN) Impact and vibration Impact and vibration When suspect anchors are linked with a sling to distribute the load, use a locking carabiner. This avoids accidental opening of the gate at the moment of impact if one of the anchors fails. The sudden loading of a quickdraw, the tearing of an energy absorber, or the running of a rope can cause the carabiner gate to open.
