Mad Rock is ready to ship there newest innovation, the Trigger Wire carabiner. how does everyone feel about this new design?
Patrick is a lover of all things adventure and photography. When he is not at home in Northeast PA, he can be found traveling with his camera and climbing. One of his most memorable experiences outdoors is his recent summit of Mount Rainier.
Simple design, looks very useful, the design still allows for the same amount of safety as a regular carabiner, if not more since quicker clipping means less time for a fall. However, it’s taking a lot of the challenge out of it. I don’t think it’s something that should be used at all times, but would definitely be useful to have in a situation where seconds count.
I also wouldn’t want to see a new climber skipping right past traditional carabiners and getting too used to only using the Trigger Wire.
