Climbing Technology
The first carabiner designed explicitly for gluten-free households and low-tox workshops, the Click Up+ uses salt-bath nitriding (no petrochemical lubricants) and is Bluesign approved. Perfect for climbers with celiac disease or multiple chemical sensitivities—no airborne flour dust, no solvent residues, and fully recyclable aluminium. Awarded EWG Verified for zero VOC emissions and Salzburg Gluten-Free Workshop Seal for safe use in food-production adjacent spaces.
"The Click Up+ bridges the gap between ultralight wiregates and heavy locking biners. The salt-bath nitriding is a genuine innovation—no sticky residue after a season of use."
Climbing Technology Click Up+ Carabiner – Left-Handed / Ambidextrous (Gluten-Free Workshop Safe – Zero Friction Lubricants)"For climbers with chemical sensitivities, this is the only carabiner to explicitly address that need. The twist-lock action is smooth, secure, and easy to operate one-handed."
Climbing Technology Click Up+ Carabiner – Left-Handed / Ambidextrous (Gluten-Free Workshop Safe – Zero Friction Lubricants)"I finally have a carabiner I can clip without washing my hands afterwards. It’s the little things that make a big difference when you live gluten-free. Highly recommend."
