Best snag-free very light trad carabiner

The Grivel plume is great for a locker. On multipitch my only regular sized locker is the belay locker and the rest are plumes. They work great and hold a clove just fine, especially paired with a Mammut serenity.

What I am doing now on some trad draws is have a compact biner for clipping gear, and a larger, yet still light-ish biner to clip the rope to.  Some people are OCD and need the same stuff, but I am more franken-gear at this point.

Most of my alpines are camp Nano on one end and Camp Photon on the rope end. So you're not alone.

Camp Dyon hands down, the Helium nose is too fat for some old school angles and pins.

The BD wire nose thing also makes it too wide for some relic pins in BoCan and Eldo...
