The
Photon Wire remains one of the lightest carabiners in the world and is
still significantly larger than other carabiners in its class. The
newest generation features an updated body design that increases
strength and rigidity to handle the odd stresses that climbers put on
their gear. We have also redesigned the interface between the gate and
nose to help protect the wire gate from damage or accidental opening.
Available in eight colors for individually racking cams – team the sling
color with the coordinating carabiner color for the fastest way to
identify the right cam size on the sharp end and reorganize the rack at
belays. The Photon Wire is perfect for climbers who want a racking
carabiner that is lightweight and low-profile but still clips with the
ease of a high-end quickdraw. It is particularly well-suited for
difficult trad leads or alpine mixed routes and ice climbing where a
full-size carabiner is much easier to operate while wearing gloves.
