The fully rounded body of the AustriAlpin HMS RONDO Slide Autolock allows smooth rope movement, even friction, and prevents the creation of sharp edges, providing a longer lifespan.
The innovative Slide Autolock mechanism is extremely easy to open — simply press the embedded brass slider — yet is nearly impossible to open unintentionally. Once released the gate automatically snaps shut and securely locks.
Note: The nose of HMS RONDO is thicker than some other carabiners and can require a firm push and some wiggling when installing a descender with a rubber o-ring.
It will fit the following descenders: Critr, Sqwurel, Element, Pivot, Hoodoo, ATS, Hannibal, Hydrobot and MiniEight. It does not fit the Oka.
AustriAlpin recommends its use with the No.Mad, however this is a particularly tight fit and does require a firm push and wiggling to get on. Once connected it is extremely secure.
Key advantages:
- round profile for smooth rope movement and longer lifespan
- gate is fast and easy to open, even wearing gloves
- autolock gate snaps shut and securely locks
