Grivel Clepsydra L 2.0 Twin Gate Carabiner – Gold | 22kN Strength

Grivel Clepsydra L 2.0 Twin Gate Carabiner – Gold

When you need a dependable carabiner for belays, anchors, and rope management, the Grivel Clepsydra L 2.0 Twin Gate offers a thoughtful mix of safety features, ergonomic design, and real-world usability. The standout feature is the patented TwinGate locking system paired with an independent wire gate that isolates the belay loop, helping reduce cross-loading during critical moments on the rock, at the gym, or on long alpine days.

Key benefits at a glance

• TwinGate locking system provides clear status and secure operation, even when you're focused on the next move.
• Independent wire gate isolates the belay loop from the main gate, minimizing cross-loading pathways and allowing smoother handling.
• Lightweight at 89 g (3.1 oz) with strong core values: major 22 kN, minor 9 kN, open 8 kN.
• Rounded, large contact surface supports smooth rope passage and reduces snag during clipping; hot drop forged for durability.

Real-world use and ergonomics

On sport routes, the Clepsydra L 2.0 shines during sudden clip opportunities and when managing rope drag on overhanging terrain. For multipitch anchors, the independent wire gate simplifies belay setups by keeping the belay loop separate from the main gate, which can streamline transitions between pitches. The gold finish offers high visibility on crowded racks, helping you quickly identify the right gate on busy days without compromising rugged performance.

Construction and durability

Grivel uses hot drop forging to form the Clepsydra L 2.0, producing a robust body with a smooth, rounded silhouette. This geometry enhances rope flow and reduces the risk of catch points during feed or retrieval. The combination of material choice and precise engineering supports dependable operation after repeated use in varied conditions.
