KARABINERS: Our search for the Perfect Connector

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

The Quest for the perfect Karabiner

Everyone has a favourite one, some people have a many. Different colours, different shapes, different applications, numerous manufacturers and some interesting tales to tell.

"Do you fancy sharing your views, facts and stories to help others in choosing their karabiners?"

Who knows, we may help to change the way our connectors are made or just help to educate others on how and why we use these simple, vital and well engineered pieces of climbing gear.

Treeclimber.ie will be giving away FREE shiny new karabiners for the most interesting and informative suggestions so share your knowledge...
