The flagship, all-round wiregate carabiner from DMM that uses all 45 years’ experience of building premium carabiners to create a clean nosed carabiner that is ergonomic, strong, light and contains lots of design features to enhance safety.

 

The ergonomic shape and size means it can be used with gloves or without and is a good choice for all climbing and mountaineering disciplines.

 

The Alpha Wire is hot forged from 7075-T6 aluminium alloy using I-beam technology to create the complex shape and minimise weight whilst keeping a very strong 25kN major axis strength. The deep rope baskets help seat gear and ropes, and encourage loading along the Alpha’s strongest axis to maximise safety. The gate has been designed to give a good positive sprung closure whilst not being so highly tensioned to make opening fiddly in poor conditions.

 

The Alpha Wire does all this whilst only weighing 36g.

 

DMM’s unique secondary nose forging press creates a recess in the carabiner nose that houses the gate notch. This creates a clean nose with a smooth inner profile that prevents snagging on gear, ropes and slings. It also means the nose of the carabiner is wider than the gate, guarding against accidental gate opening caused by rubbing on rock.

 

Superb ergonomics and safe design mean the Alpha excels in any climbing environment.
