The Photon Wire delivers full-size clippability at a weight that keeps alpine racks honest
The CAMP USA Photon Wire Carabiner hits a specific gap on the trad and alpine rack: lighter than a standard-size biner without shrinking down to the fiddly dimensions of a micro. The aluminum alloy frame keeps the gate opening wide enough to clip reliably on complex placements, and the wiregate resists freezing when temperatures drop on alpine routes. The redesigned gate-to-nose interface adds a layer of security without changing the clip feel.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I rack cams and build alpine draws with these because the full-size frame lets me clip cleanly even with gloves on, and at 1.1 ounces each the weight savings across a full rack actually add up."
