Rock Exotica rockO Carabiner

The WireEye is a small, integrated wire loop at the base of the carabiner designed to capture your lanyard or rope. It keeps your gear from sliding past the end of the carabiner, which helps maintain proper orientation and prevents dangerous cross-loading.

While it maintains the classic oval shape that is great for gear management, the rockO is engineered to be significantly stronger than traditional oval designs. It bridges the gap between the versatility of an oval and the high-strength performance of modern, specialized carabiners.

The 3-stage lock is designed for maximum security, requiring a specific sequence of actions to open. While it is more secure than a screw-lock, it can be slightly more challenging to operate with thick gloves compared to a simple twist-lock, so it is best to practice with your specific gear setup.

The rockO has a major axis strength of 24 kN, which meets the standard requirements for climbing and industrial safety certifications, including CE and UIAA.

Yes, the oval shape is ideal for use with pulleys, ascenders, and rigging plates because it allows for symmetrical loading. The WireEye feature adds an extra layer of security by ensuring your connected components stay aligned correctly.
