Black Diamond - Litewire Carabiner
-
Engineered as a wiregate trad climbing machine, the LiteWire is a small workhorse carabiner.
-
The Carabiner is featuring a hot-forged construction—allowing us to remove weight where it’s not needed and add material where durability is key—and a hinge-basket that holds the sling of a Camalot adds durability not only for the carabiner, but for your rope as well, plus we’ve optimized the nose geometry to allow for efficient clipping, making the LiteWire an ultra-durable wiregate just waiting to be racked.
Durable workhorse ideal for trad climbing
Hot-Forged for lighter-weight construction
Larger rope-bearing surface for added durability
Nose geometry allows for efficient clipping/unclipping

Technology: Hot-Forged Construction - Allowing us to remove weight where it’s not needed and add material where durability is key, Hot-Forged Construction gives the geometry of our equipment the perfect balance between weight, strength, and performance.
