Let me tell you — this carabiner is not here to mess around. The LightForge Screwgate is the type of gear that shows up early, locks in tight, and makes sure you don’t take an impromptu flight off the crag. It’s sleek, it’s smooth, and it’s lighter than the emotional baggage I carry up multipitch routes. The screwgate action? Chef’s kiss. Twists smoother than a plot in a telenovela, and stays closed like your friend’s lips when you ask them not to tell anyone about your last climbing whipper. It’s got that just-right size — not too chunky, not too dainty — Goldilocks would ditch the porridge and grab this for her alpine rack. Best part? It’s so light, I had to double-check it wasn’t an illusion created by Black Diamond’s marketing team. But nope — it’s real, and it’s fabulous. Whether you’re belaying your bestie, building an anchor, or just clipping it to your backpack to look cool at REI, this carabiner is the ride-or-die gatekeeper of your dreams.
