The Petzl VERTIGO WIRE-LOCK Carabiner is an automatic-locking connector specifically designed for use at the ends of SCORPIO VERTIGO and SCORPIO VERTIGO SW via ferrata lanyards. Its ergonomic shape, large gate opening, and automatic WIRE-LOCK system make it easy to handle when passing intermediate anchors. The carabiner can also be used for canyoning applications with compatible PIRANA CLUB and PIRANA GUIDE descenders.

Easy Handling on Via Ferrata

The VERTIGO WIRE-LOCK features an ergonomic shape that provides a secure and comfortable grip, helping users quickly connect and disconnect from via ferrata cables. Its 24 mm gate opening provides ample clearance for easy connection, while the Keylock system helps prevent the carabiner from snagging on the cable or other equipment during use.

The WIRE-LOCK automatic locking system is designed for frequent connection and disconnection. It automatically locks when the gate closes, making it particularly suitable for lanyard-end applications where the carabiner is repeatedly clipped and unclipped while progressing along a route. Petzl specifically notes that the WIRE-LOCK system optimizes the number of opening and closing cycles and increases product longevity during intensive use.

Durable Construction for Intensive Use

Made from aluminum, stainless steel, and nylon, the Petzl VERTIGO WIRE-LOCK balances durability with practical weight. At 95 g, it provides substantial strength without adding unnecessary bulk to a via ferrata lanyard. Its H-frame construction also helps protect product markings from abrasion.

The VERTIGO WIRE-LOCK is certified to CE EN 12275 Types K/B and UIAA, making it suitable for its intended via ferrata and climbing connector applications. Petzl’s technical notice identifies it as PPE for fall protection from height and specifies its use as an auto-locking lanyard-end carabiner for via ferrata, adventure park use, and attachment of a PIRANA canyoning descender.
