Grivel Vlad Twin Gate Carabiner Anchor Plate Combo – Rigging Plate & Carabiner

Grivel's Vlad Twin Gate Carabiner Anchor Plate Combo redefines belay organization by pairing a rugged carabiner with a built‑in rigging plate. This integrated design aims to be lighter and less cumbersome than separate components, helping you keep anchor setups tidy and repeatable on a variety of routes. The classic shape is enhanced with three dedicated holes for anchoring, enabling you to connect multiple carabiners directly to the plate for streamlined rope management and belay control. If you value efficiency and simplicity in the field, Vlad may offer a compelling option to consider.
