Rock Exotica Rock D Up-Lock Carabiner

The rockD Up-Lock carabiner utilizes a push-up and twist gate mechanism, allowing climbers to match gate styles to their existing equipment and gear configurations. The rockD is the carabiner of choice when seeking the highest strength in a standard-sized aluminium frame. The rockD carabiner serves the broadest range of specialized uses. The rockD in non-lanyard versions, features a flattened, i-beam profile at the bottom and top bends, giving the carabiner a sleek profile, while providing low weight and high strength characteristics.

The 3-stage Up-Lock carabiner features a PUSH-UP and twist action gate.
Rock Exotica identified several surfaces where ropes and lanyards can be held up by the edges of the gate and sleeve, which can lead to dangerous cross-loading. The upLock gate sleeve is designed with beveled edges to minimize this risk and provide a smoother interior for interaction with the materials connected to the carabiner.

• Push-up and twist action
