Salewa Ortles Bent Carabiner

The Salewa Ortles Bent Carabiner is a lightweight and robust climbing carabiner designed for smooth rope handling in both sport climbing and alpine environments. Featuring a bent gate construction, it is optimised to guide the rope into the carabiner more efficiently, allowing faster, more controlled clipping when every movement counts.

Built from high-strength 7075 T6 aluminium, the Ortles Bent balances durability with minimal weight. Its ergonomic gate includes a dedicated thumb grip zone for improved handling, while the tapered keylock nose prevents snagging on ropes, bolts, or gear. A large gate opening enhances usability during clipping and cleaning, and the broad rope-bearing surface increases long-term durability.

Designed for reliability in demanding conditions, the Ortles Bent Carabiner also includes a practical nose hole that allows easy removal of ice, snow, or dirt—making it a dependable choice for climbers operating in alpine or mixed environments.
