carabiner clip
Climber's quick-link
A carabiner clip is a metal loop with a spring-loaded gate, used to quickly connect ropes, harnesses, or equipment.
Essential in climbing and mountaineering, carabiners also appear in everyday use—attaching keys to belt loops, securing gear to backpacks.
The term is slightly redundant, as carabiner alone names the device, but carabiner clip is common in casual speech.
