Prevent carabiners from cross-loading, they are usually still able to carry up to ~7 kN, but that is substantially lower than their usual strength. In case of a wired-gate carabiner, it might also induce a rope strain if the rope is directed over the gate. Prevent placing carabiner gate towards the rock face and/or the rock features, it might open the gate. You can prevent this easily by orienting the gate in a free direction. | Prevent carabiners from cross-loading, they are usually still able to carry up to ~7 kN, but that is substantially lower than their usual strength.
