 Nouveau Mousqueton Rocky : The product of all our knowledge and expertise, this is the latest in the Simond range carabiners... Its forged slim-line body has lost nothing of the all-important Simond ergonomic design: its unique shape, generous capacity and extreme lightweight make clipping and unclipping easy. Its wire gate gives it an exceptionally long working life and considerably reduces the risk of the gate opening unexpectedly thanks to inertia. The Rocky Wiregate’s 9mm diameter body means you can use it in all kinds of spots, even on difficult to reach placements (corners etc). Its light weight means you save precious grams when you’ve got a harness full of gear and weight is everything. As part of a quickdraw, the Rocky Wiregate will be your greatest asset on big overhangs and long, committing routes. It is available in 11cm and 17cm version Rocky Wiregate Packs as well as the Spider/Rocky Wiregate Packs. |
 BLC System: Simond brings you the Belay Loop Controller, belaying has never been so safe ! The simplest systems are often the most effective. Simond research has developed the BLC which has a small wire gate integrated into the carabiner to ensure that the load is always distributed along its major axis. Gone are the days of the carabiner unexpectedly moving round while you are belaying or at the stance. You can now concentrate on what you have do, instead of what your carabiner is doing! The BLC system does not reduce the strength of the carabiner or make it any heavier, it doesn’t affect your climbing at all! In fact, the BLC makes the carabiner even safer than before and just as practical as ever… The BLC comes fitted to the Goliath and Spider HMS Auto3 carabiners, making them without doubt the most successful carabiners in their category. Our technical advisers are already using the BLC system for all sorts of activities, particularly when safety is key! The BLC system is available on Master Auto, Spider HMS and Goliath HMS carabiners and you will soon find and thousand and one reasons to use it yourself! |

 Biscuit Stick Clip:
The Simond climbers have developed a stick clip that is extremely
practical and useful !
wherever you are climbing, especially when the first piece of gear is quite high, the ground below is uneven or the third hold needs a bit of a brush… Most importantly, Simond’s Biscuit Stick Clip is a piece of safety equipment which allows you to clip the first piece or pieces of gear on a route and avoid a ground fall, protecting BOTH the leader and the belayer in some cases. It is telescopic and gives you an extra 2m (6ft 6in) of reach, which means a 1.80m (6ft) tall climber can clip a piece of gear 4m (13ft) away! Its exclusive head design allows you to reclip quickdraws after you have pulled through the rope and to brush those out of reach holds! A Simond exclusive. The Biscuit Stick Clip is lightweight enough not to bother you on long approach walks and can be used on all kinds of routes (sports climbs, aid routes, dry tooling etc), and it will soon come part of your essential kit! |
