After observing how sport climbers were modifying their belay biners with rubber bungs to prevent cross-loading with certain belay devices, DMM came up with a cleaner, simple, solution. The Rhino's horn prevents belay devices from working their way around the top bar and onto the spine, minimizing the chance of cross-loading. The round top bar gives smooth and predictable rope control, while the flat bottom sits well in belay loops, encouraging the Rhino to load in its strongest orientation.

• Belay carabiner for consistent rope control and compatibility with belay devices
• Offset D carabiner for optimal loading and ergonomics
• Keylock nose eliminates snagging
• I-Beam construction or optimum strength to weight ratio
• Full section top bar for consistent rope handling and increase d longevity
• Pronounced heron and flat base encourage optimal loading
