Aluminum is lightweight yet strong and resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for climbing gear. The H-frame shape enhances the carabiner's strength and durability while keeping it lightweight, allowing for easier handling and less fatigue during extended use.

Major Axis Strength refers to the maximum force a carabiner can withstand when weight is applied along its strongest axis. A rating of 23 kN indicates that the carabiner can safely hold a significant amount of weight, ensuring reliability during climbing and other high-stress activities.

Open Gate Strength indicates how much force a carabiner can handle when the gate is open. A rating of 7 kN shows that even if the gate is not fully closed, the carabiner can still withstand a considerable amount of force. This is crucial for safety, as it helps prevent accidents if the carabiner is not properly secured.
