Gearing up for The Nose? Giving it a go at the Shield? Make sure you're racked up with the Petzl Owall Carabiner. Its oval shape prevents dreaded 'biner shift when you're aiding on sketchy RP placements, and the snag-free Keylock gate allows you to un-clip your previous hook placement without bumping it off the ledge. The Owall Carabiner is also an excellent choice for racking your nuts, pitons, or hooks.

Petzl Owall Carabiner



Oh, the Owals
Larger and heavier than I imagined. Although the keylock is great for anything you have on a wire, I'm not sure if the weight and price for the Owal is worth the single advantage of racking on ovals. Pick up an asymetrical-D biner with a keylock, like the BD Positron instead.


The Owalls, not just for racking anymore.
I bought a couple of the owalls primarily for racking my wired pro. They work great, with the keylock gate and all, for racking. However, they are a little beefier than I expected. I suppose the extra weight and girth help attain the high strength rating the biner possesses. Had I been looking strictly for a racking biner I would be a tad disappointed in the owall. However, for rigging hauling systems and other utilities, the owall is perfect. It is a nice working biner and feels good in the hand. I have even purchased a couple of the locking version (and additional non-locking) for these purposes. So, for a great all-around workhorse, the owall has proven to be a great addition to my ever-expanding rack.
