From the left: 1) "Big Wall Traverse" brand small pear shaped screw gate carabiner. Not recommended for most applications as the smaller size and steeper slope makes your rope more likely to jam. 2) "Black Diamond Rocklock" pear shaped screw gate carabiner. Note the gentler slope than 1. This is the shape of carabiner I prefer for most applications. 3) D-shaped screw gate carabiner. Good for hanging your ring/spinner, not for much else. 4) Oval shaped carabiner without locking gate. Because it does not lock, this one is useful only for non-critical lines (although it is a climbing rated carabiner). Oval shaped carabiners (with locking gates!) are OK for hanging your points (but not as good as D-shaped carabiners) and OK for running pulleys with your rope (but not as good as pear-shaped carabiners). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bc8b89b8a79bbdc67f4a99/1532986795588-78D2N5KB2XMIIGH128XT/Shay+27046408827_308fbbf7d5_o.jpg Supplies Performing at Seattle Erotic Art Festival.
