CAMP Nano 22 Carabiner – Gun Metal | Ultra Lightweight Climbing Carabiner

Meet the CAMP Nano 22 Carabiner

Nano 22 builds on CAMP's lightweight philosophy, delivering a carabiner that blends minimal mass with dependable performance. Following the Nano Wire and Nano 23 generations, this version emphasizes even lower weight without compromising the core strengths climbers rely on for safety and efficiency on rock and alpine terrain.

Lightweight design with practical strength

Weighing just 0.8 oz (22 g), the Nano 22 is among the lightest carabiners available. The reduced mass comes from a refined construction that preserves size while shaving weight, so your rack feels lighter while your gear remains robust for everyday use. The major axis withstands up to 21 kN, and the open-gate holds up to 9 kN, with a minor axis rating of 8 kN, providing reliable margins for routine clipping and belaying scenarios.

• Weight: 22 g (0.8 oz); Height 86 mm; Width 52 mm
• Gate Opening: 21 mm; Open Gate strength: 9 kN

Smoother rope flow and reduced wear

The nanostructured nose and refined curvature guide the rope with minimal resistance, while an absence of protrusions helps the rope glide past the gate. This thoughtful design can contribute to smoother clips and potentially less wear on the rope sleeve during long routes.

• Smoother trigger finish for fluid operation when clipping
• Protrusion-free profile reduces snagging on rocks and gear

Versatility on the wall and the rack

With eight bright color options, you can color-match with popular cams and your personal gear to identify sizes at a glance. The Nano 22's compact silhouette—86 mm tall and 52 mm wide—also makes it easy to secure to slim rings and tight placements on a harness or rack.

Designed for mountaineering and trad climbing, this carabiner excels at carrying hardware on a harness and clipping into fissures or narrow cracks where space is limited. The result is a practical, weight-conscious companion for long approaches and mixed routes.
