Lightest Carabiner Out There?

[Divine_Light]

Can someone point me in the direction of the lightest carabiner available.

I'm looking for one for a continuous ridgeline.

Thanks.

Lightest ones I have used are the 23 gram ones that come with the Grand Trunk Nano7.

The CAMP Nano 23s are the lightest I found that were still real biners.

+1 on the CAMP Nano's.

If you really want to cut weight, check out the loop shackles thread.

You can find "accessory" 'biners that weigh very little, but the lightest climbing 'biners around are the Camp Nano's at 23g. I think they're rated at 20kN with the gate closed, and 7kN open/side loaded (a bad idea as a general rule). Science help you if you ever put that much stress on it in your hammock!

I wouldn't trust an accessory 'biner for anything more than hanging my pack...

There are also these at 23 grams each in green and brown for the stealthly types.

"For a continuous ridgeline". For a tarp ridgeline?

I'm using the micro carabiners from the hammockforums store for my tarp ridgeline. 3.2 grams, they say... Strong enough to withstand a good solid trucker's hitch on the other end. Not sure if you mean something else by "continuous ridgeline" but I can't think why you'd need a climbing 'biner just for a tarp ridgeline.

Thats the Metolius Mini Biner in PGibsons photo! currently they only come in brown and green, but very soon they will be available in 6 different colors!!

for tarp ridgeline: small fig 9 or #2 fig 9 carabiner. for structured: I use a small stainless quicklink.
