I use Thorn carabiners for all of my tree climbing needs, whether it's ascending or rappelling, they get the job done.

I didn’t use this for climbing, just for hanging a bunch of stuff from my backpack as well as for my hammock. This was a big carabiner so I was able to fit a bunch of stuff on it and it held it all no problem. The lock works well and is easily engaged as well as disengaged. I did use these for holding up my hammock and they held my body weight well so in theory they should be able to be used for climbing.

I'll start off by saying that I got these for two reasons, 1) to hold a pair of gloves on a belt and 2) to put on my emergency bag I keep in my truck.Years ago, I had to do a rope rescue on a lake and I had old rope in my truck. It worked, but I was worried the entire time that I was going to have to walk/crawl out on thin ice. Since then, I keep very solid rope in the truck, just in case.Since I spend time in the mountains as well, I wanted to have a good carabiner in the truck in case I ever come across a rappelling needed situation. I'm 6'2", 250, and I have full confidence that this carabiner would hold my weight if needed, as well as almost all other people. I tested this by making a harness and suspending myself from the boxing bag hook in my garage - no issues at all. I swung back and forth and the carabiner didn't bend and unlocked easily when I was done.I'm planning on using this as a weight at the end of the rope when I go camping, to be able to throw over a limb to suspend the food away from camp.I ran a rappelling camp in Boy Scouts many years ago, and the carabiners back then felt heavier and beefier. I'm not sure if materials have just come that far, but this definitely feels lighter. But again, it held my weight with no issue.
