Metolius FS Mini II Carabiner (2015) - Green | Lightweight Aluminum Wire-Gate

Compact strength for light-weight climbs

The Metolius FS Mini II Carabiner (2015) in green is designed to shave grams without compromising reliability. Its compact silhouette fits easily on harnesses and quickdraws, while the aluminum body delivers a solid, dependable feel under load. The larger gate opening improves clipping ease, especially when you’re reaching from odd angles or low-percentage holds. This isn’t about overpromising results; it’s about giving you a practical tool that stays calm and predictable as you focus on your line.

Built for traverses, vertical routes, and day-to-day use

On traverses and vertical faces, the wire gate helps reduce shuttering as the spine skims the wall, helping you move smoothly from clip to clip. The flared nose design further minimizes accidental gate movement when you’re working in tight spaces. The result is a reliable, low-profile carabiner you can trust in a variety of climbing environments, from gym walls to outdoor crags.

Key physical attributes include a robust aluminum construction that stays cool under use, a wire gate that offers crisp, swift operation, and a shape that preserves strength where you count it most. While the data speaks to performance (22 kN major axis, 7 kN minor axis, 7 kN open gate), real-world use emphasizes practical handling: quick clipping, secure holding power, and a lightweight feel that won’t weigh you down on longer days.
