The Petzl Spirit Bent Carabiner is a lightweight, standard-sized climbing carabiner designed for efficient rope clipping during sport climbing and working routes. Weighing only 37 g, it delivers an excellent weight-to-performance ratio while remaining easy to handle. Its bent gate is specifically shaped to make rope clipping fast and efficient, making it a reliable choice for climbers who prioritize smooth handling and low equipment weight.

Easy and Efficient Rope Clipping

The Petzl Spirit Bent Carabiner features Petzl’s Keylock system, which helps prevent the carabiner from snagging on gear loops, bolt hangers, or the rope. This notch-free nose makes clipping and unclipping smoother and helps reduce unwanted catches when handling climbing equipment.

The bent gate provides an intuitive clipping surface that makes it easier to clip the rope quickly. The carabiner’s flat spine also provides excellent stability when holding it in your hand or using a pinch-clipping technique.

Lightweight and Versatile

At just 37 g, the Petzl Spirit Bent Carabiner helps keep the overall weight of a climbing rack under control without using an undersized carabiner. Its standard dimensions of 57 × 94 mm provide a practical balance between compactness and comfortable handling.

The SPIRIT is particularly well suited to sport climbing, but its lightweight design also makes it useful for multi-pitch climbing and mountaineering. It is available in multiple colors, including gray, violet, green, red, yellow, and blue, allowing climbers to use color coding for different gear or rack positions.
