Abstract
The present invention extends to a carabiner intended for use as an adjustable anchor or a belay device. In general, implementations include a carabiner that includes a frame defining a hole and a gate. More specifically, implementations include a carabiner having a spine with an elongated slot portion having a first slot wall and a second slot wall that define a hole through the spine of the frame. Additionally, some implementations include a carabiner kit with a first carabiner having an elongated slot portion on the spine, a second carabiner, a pinching mechanism formed by linking the first and second carabiners together, and a rope that goes through the elongated slot portion, around the second carabiner, and back out the elongated slot portion of the first carabiner to enable the pinching mechanism to selectively pinch the rope for use as an adjustable anchor or a belay device.
