Petzl M38 SL Attache Bar Screw Gate Karabiner

Compact, lightweight, asymmetrical, and unidirectional carabiner

Cross-loading carabiners are a thing of the past with the ATTACHE BAR. When used with the removable BAR, the pear-shaped ATTACHE carabiner is a versatile tool. It becomes a unidirectional carabiner, oriented to load the major axis and maximizing ease of use when belaying or using ropes for glacier travel. It has an H-frame to keep the weight low and the round-stock basket creates a smooth surface for the rope to run over, for easier belaying with the VERSO, REVERSO, or a Munter hitch.

Unidirectional ATTACHE carabiner with BAR:

- Removable BAR orients the carabiner to load the major axis for ease when belaying or using ropes for glacier travel

- BAR cannot be closed if the gate is not fully locked, limiting the risk of user error

- Carabiner gate cannot be accidentally unlocked when BAR is installed in the closed position

ATTACHE carabiner without BAR:

- Round-stock basket provides a smooth surface for the rope to run over when belaying with a Munter hitch, VERSO, or REVERSO

- Partial H-frame optimizes the strength-to-weight ratio

- Pear-shape design is versatile for climbing and mountaineering

Easy to use:

- SCREW-LOCK locking system provides good handling and effective locking

- Keylock system and smooth nose help prevent the carabiner from snagging during use

- Easy to use when wearing mountaineering gloves
