All you ever (needed) to know about Carabiners There's a massive range of carabiners for climbing and other uses. They were originally developed for industrial use but were adopted by climbers as the ideal solution to clip into belay points and protection points without complex knots. There are six main types of carabiner: Clippers - these are simple spring gated devices Screw Gate carabiners where the sprung gate can be held closed by loosely tightening a retaining screw. HMS carabiners are pear shaped screw gate carabiners - at least one of these is essential equipment for every climber. Automatic gated carabiners greatly assist in accident prevention.

Rock Empire Inhibitor Via Ferrata
	Price: £39.94 [€43.93]Including VAT
Not just climbers are allowed on big walls to see the world from a bird’s eye perspective. The gateway to such a vertical experience for a hiker or a less skilled climber is „via ferrata”, which permits you to pass even the steepest parts of the walls. But remember, there is much greater danger on this kind of route than there is on climbing ones. This risk is called the “fall factor”. An inhibitor is a thing which prevents this danger and ensures your safety in case of a fall. Just as every climber relies on the rope and the belay person, you can fully rely on the via-ferrata protection set – the Inhibitor. Weight: 290 g/10,4 oz.

Whats a kN ?
Most climbing gear is rated with various strength markings. The most common is kN (Kilo-Newton)

A Newton (named after the famous gravitational scientist) is the unit of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram one meter per second per second. With accelleration due to Earthy's gravity being just under 10 meters per second per second, 1kN is equivalent to a static mass a little over 100Kg.

Its important to realise that during a fall, even an average climber weighing 80Kg will exert much greater forces on the equipment in use due to dynamic loading, friction, pulley effects and belaying skills. In reality, forces of 6kN - 7kN are not uncommon during a fall.

There is an excellent article about this published by the BMC here about how important it is to appreciate the strength of your equipment in order to use it correctly.

Sage advice is to replace to equipment, even if it appears undamaged, if you have taken a serious fall on it which may have weakened it.
