Petzl WILLIAM Carabiner

The pear shape, often called an HMS shape, provides a wider basket that is specifically designed for belaying with a Munter hitch or connecting multiple items like slings and ropes simultaneously. It offers more room for movement and organization compared to the more restrictive geometry of D-shaped carabiners.

It takes a little practice to master, but the triple-action gate is designed to be opened with one hand. You slide the sleeve up, twist it, and then push the gate in, which provides a high level of security against accidental openings while remaining efficient for professional use.

The H-shaped design is a clever engineering choice that removes unnecessary material to keep the carabiner lightweight without sacrificing strength. It also creates recessed channels that protect the carabiner's markings from abrasion, ensuring your gear's critical information remains readable over time.

Yes, the Keylock system eliminates the small hook found on traditional carabiners that often catches on ropes, slings, or harness gear loops. It creates a smooth, snag-free interface that makes clipping and unclipping much faster and less frustrating.

Absolutely. Because it meets both CE EN 362 and NFPA 1983 technical use standards, it is certified for both recreational climbing and professional work-at-height applications, making it a versatile addition to any kit.

At 85 grams, this is a standard weight for a large-capacity, triple-locking carabiner. While you can find lighter options, they usually sacrifice the size and gate opening width that make the WILLIAM so useful for complex rigging or belay setups.
