Ordinary snaplink karabiners are seldom required on their own for sport climbing, rather the climber will just carry a dozen or so quickdraws, as the route requires. However, for using a belay device,though an ordinary HMS screwgate will do the job, a special belay karabiner makes sense as it cannot become cross-loaded.
The karabiners shown here are ones that we feel are particularly suited to sport climbing. For our full range please see the Rock Climbing Section.
