CAMP Nimbus Lock Carabiner

A high-value Compact HMS belay and rappel carabiner with a locking screwgate from Camp.  The unique shape positions ropes for smooth belays and rappels. Keylock style SphereLock gate closure helps prevent snagging and has a slim nose profile. Also use these carabiners in conjunction with personal anchors, on the first piece of gear when leading a pitch, when building belay stations on multi-pitch alpine climbs, for crevasse rescue systems, and for many other uses.  Large enough to accommodate a münter or clove hitch.  If you do a lot of different types of climbing, then you quickly learn how many different purposes that these will serve, and how many ways a couple of these in your kit will help to solidly secure and protect you.  The “keylock” style gate closure has become one of the most popular industry standard designs because it prevents the carabiner from snagging when clipping on and off of slings, gear, ropes, and harnesses.
