Meet the Pirate: Strength, Simplicity, and Style

The Pirate Carabiner lives up to its name—it’s bold, tough, and ready for adventure. Built around a true HMS (pear-shaped) design, the Pirate is ideal for a wide range of tasks, from belaying and rappelling to rigging and anchoring.

The screw-lock version, in particular, offers manual locking security, giving climbers and professionals the ability to visually confirm when the gate is locked—critical when double-checking safety systems in the field.

Key Features of the Pirate Screw-Lock Carabiner – Black
