Description
This is an anti-cross loading brace for the Black Diamond Rock Lock Screwgate Carabiner. It's designed to simply snap into place once the carabiner is closed and locked down. (Designed for retail design of ~2021-22) This a pretty ubiquitous model of Carabiner in rock climbing and this brace makes it a bit safer for belaying, rapelling, top-rope soloing, etc. as it prevents the carabiner from become cross loaded on its much weaker axis
I'll be testing this device primarily for top rope soloing and making any changes which I feel improve the overall design. If you would like the CAD file to make edits yourself, feel free to msg me.
