Carabiners and quickdraws for multi-pitch and mountain routes
The new ANGE carabiners use the MonoFil Keylock wire gate system developed by Petzl. This system, halfway between the traditional gate mechanism and the classic wire gate system, combines the best of these two technologies to ensure an extremely smooth opening and closing movement. It has an exclusive H-profile, guaranteeing an excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
To learn more about the ANGE, take a trip to the Grand Capucin

ANGE carabiners

Contact surfaces designed to extend the life of the carabiner and limit rope wear
Straight nose to optimize clipping and unclipping
MonoFil Keylock system
The deflector works with the shape of the carabiner to allow proper positioning of the carabiner on its major axis
H-profile provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio
STRING positioning indent
Système monofil Keylock

ANGE S and ANGE L carabiners open and close smoothly with Petzl's MonoFil Keylock system. This exclusive system uses a spring mechanism similar to that found in standard-gate carabiners. This mechanism lasts twice as long as that found on standard wire-gate carabiners.
To guarantee optimal efficiency, all Petzl carabiners use the Keylock system: the body/gate interface does not have a hook that could snag on anchors, ropes, harness equipment loops, etc.
H-profile
The H-profile of the ANGE S and ANGE L carabiners is thicker on the inside part, easing passage of the rope while optimizing durability.
Indent for STRING
The indent on the bottom of the ANGE S and ANGE L carabiners helps keep the STRING in place so that the sling is properly positioned on the carabiner.
Shape of the nose
The shape of the nose is designed to optimize clipping and unclipping.
ANGE FINESSE QUICKDRAWS
The ANGE FINESSE quickdraws are available in four versions:
10 cm ANGE FINESSE S+S
with two S ANGES, this quickdraw is for climbers looking for the lightest and most compact combination S - 63 g

17 cm ANGE FINESSE S+S
the longer sling makes this quickdraw more multipurpose, while still being ultra light - 66 g

17 cm ANGE FINESSE S+L
the ANGE L on the rope side make clipping quick and easy, while the ANGE S on the anchor side keeps weight down - 72 g

17 cm ANGE FINESSE L+L
designed for easy and fast clipping, even when wearing gloves - 78 g

Listen to the unique sound of the ANGE
The click of a closing carabiner can be part of the communication between members of a climbing team. It's even more true on long routes, when it is the climber isn't visible or when it's difficult to talk to one another. The sound of the carabiner can signal to the climber that an out-of-sight carabiner is clipped. It can also signal to the belayer that the climber will be needing slack soon (as when a bolt or peice of gear is clipped) or that the climber has clipped the rope.
