I’m wondering if the evolution of skinnier ropes has driven the gate open clearance of carabiners
Just finished a build of a small home gym and could not afford a “smith machine” (safety equipment to stop weighted bar from crushing you). So have semi static ropes hung from equalised Tnuts which I attach to the weight bar.
Only issue was all my modern carabiners ( inc DMM boas ) won’t open wide enough for a 25mm weights bar. Only one of your old wire gate aid climbing crabs fitted and a very old HMS I had saved the day
With skinny ropes come skinny open gate standards?
Great read as always
