Petzl Vertigo Wire-Lock

The Petzl Vertigo Wire-Lock is a climbing carabiner crafted for via ferrata and klettersteig adventures. It serves as a reliable link between your harness and the safety cable, helping you move confidently along exposed routes.

Weighing in at just 95 grams, this carabiner combines an aluminum body with stainless steel and nylon components to balance lightness and durability. Its 24 mm gate opening makes clipping and unclipping quick, while the Keylock system prevents snagging on harnesses or slings—important when you need to focus on the route ahead rather than fumbling with gear.

The Wire-Lock mechanism uses a spring-loaded wire nose that resists ice and dirt buildup, keeping the gate action smooth. Certified to CE EN 12275 types K and B as well as UIAA standards, it meets rigorous safety tests for connectors used in mountaineering and via ferrata, so you know it performs when it matters most.
