Small, secure, and impressively light—the Rocha is a solid choice when you're trimming weight without compromising on function.
Petzl says:
Ultra-lightweight, ultra-compact, pear-shaped screw-lock carabiner.
Keep your rack light with the ROCHA! This ultra-lightweight, ultra-compact, pear-shaped carabiner is ideal for multi-pitch climbing or mountaineering, where every gram counts. The H-frame provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio at just 45 grams. It is easy to use with a SCREW-LOCK locking system.
Our Verdict
At just 46g, the Petzl Rocha Screw-lock Carabiner is impressive for its weight. The compact pear-shaped design makes it surprisingly adaptable—ideal for belay setups, building quick anchors, or securing crucial kit. The screw-lock mechanism is smooth, with a clear visual indicator that adds a layer of reassurance. The keylock nose handles well and avoids snags when racking or unclipping. It’s also glove-friendly, though climbers used to larger HMS carabiners may find the size a little snug.
