What's in the Collection?
The site contains over 430 carabiners displayed with photos, with many more in processing.
Click on any of the photos above to visit the pages for some of my favorites, and to get an idea of the collection.
See links below (or the buttons near the top of the page) to explore the collection directly by category. Or view All Carabiners in a single table.
For a focused look at parts of the collection Virtual Exhibits.
The more visually inclined, you may prefer to browse and navigate through an all-photo Gallery View.
Rest of the Stuff
Tools reflect the needs of their users, and changes in these tools reflect changes in recreation, rescue and work at height. I am mostly focused on locking carabiners or interesting design dead-ends. Check out the About page for more on the criteria guiding the collection.
Or see the Recent Updates section for the newest changes to the site.
Visit the Terminology Guide for information on the ways I've classfied carabiner features.
The Other Thoughts contains ramblings based on questions I've gotten when teaching about carabiners.
