The Petzl Ange S Carabiner is an ultra-lightweight and compact climbing carabiner designed for mountaineering and multi-pitch climbing where every gram matters. Weighing only 28 g, it combines Petzl’s innovative MonoFil gate with an H-shaped cross-section to deliver an excellent strength-to-weight ratio in a compact package. Its optimized design makes it an ideal choice for climbers looking to reduce the weight of their equipment without giving up smooth handling and reliable clipping performance.

Ultra-Lightweight and Compact Design

At just 28 g, the Petzl Ange S is particularly suited to alpine routes, mountaineering, and multi-pitch climbing. Its H-shaped cross-section optimizes the size and strength-to-weight ratio of the carabiner, helping keep a climbing rack lightweight while maintaining a 20 kN major-axis strength.

The carabiner’s compact dimensions of 53 x 85 mm make it easy to carry and handle when minimizing equipment bulk is important.

Smooth MonoFil Gate and Keylock System

The MonoFil gate combines features of traditional solid-gate and wire-gate carabiners. It opens and closes smoothly, while its wire section is recessed within the carabiner frame to reduce the possibility of rubbing against rock. Petzl states that the MonoFil gate also offers a longer service life compared with traditional wire-gate designs.

The Keylock system helps prevent snagging on gear loops, pitons, ropes, or webbing during clipping and unclipping. A hole in the nose allows ice, snow, or dirt to clear from the gate area, which is particularly useful in alpine and winter climbing environments.

Stable Handling and Smooth Rope Movement

The flat spine of the Ange S provides stability when holding the carabiner or pinch clipping. Its wide contact surface with the rope and bolt hanger promotes smoother rope movement and helps reduce wear on the carabiner.

The Petzl Ange S is available in orange and light gray, allowing climbers to select their preferred color for equipment organization.
