Rock Exotica Pirate Up-Lock Carabiner – HMS 3-Stage Auto-Locking Connector
The Rock Exotica Pirate Up-Lock Carabiner is a high-strength HMS (pear-shaped) connector designed for arborists, climbers and rope access professionals who require versatility, durability and secure operation. Featuring a 3-stage push-up and twist gate mechanism, it allows seamless integration with existing gear setups while maintaining maximum safety.
Built with a robust 0.5" round-stock frame, the Pirate is engineered to withstand heavy use, rope wear and repeated contact with metal hardware. Its wide top radius and large internal capacity make it ideal for belay systems, Munter hitches and multi-attachment setups.
Key Features
- 3-stage Up-Lock gate with push-up and twist action
- HMS pear-shaped design for maximum versatility
- Durable 0.5" round-stock frame for extended service life
- Bevelled gate edges to reduce cross-loading risk
- Wide top radius for Munter hitch and multiple connections
- Large, ergonomic angled gate opening
- Snag-resistant keylock nose design
- Precision CNC machined construction for smooth operation
Secure Up-Lock Gate System
The push-up and twist mechanism provides a reliable 3-stage locking action, ensuring safe and controlled operation while matching other Up-Lock gate styles in your system.
Built for Durability
The Pirate’s 0.5" round-stock frame is designed to endure heavy wear from ropes and hardware, offering greater longevity compared to thinner, stamped carabiners.
Versatile HMS Shape
The pear-shaped design provides a large internal space, making it ideal for belaying, rigging and connecting multiple components without compromising alignment or ease of use.
Reduced Cross-Loading Risk
Bevelled gate and sleeve edges create smooth internal surfaces, helping prevent rope snagging and reducing the likelihood of dangerous cross-loading situations.
