Karabiners and Connectors

After observing how sport climbers were modifying their belay karabiners with rubber bungs to prevent cross-loading when using the Petzl Grigri and Trango Cinch, DMM decided it was time to come up with a cleaner, simple, solution. The Rhino's horn prevents such devices from rotating off the top bar and on to the spine reducing the risk of cross loading, it also works well with selected DMM pulleys.
