Pretty and vital

Never did I think I would end up discussing the aesthetics of a carabiner, but here I am. When thinking about form and function a carabiner just jumped to the front of my mind. There are generally numerous styles and colours to chose from. Sleek, industrial, and simple…and can you believe it could save your life? Well, that may sound a bit extreme, but it is a crucial piece of equipment for climbers.
But for me? A non-climber who really cannot think of another purpose? Keychain! Talk about utilitarian and timeless. They are so affordable I cannot believe I don’t already own one or two or three for all the various clippy things for which one would need a carabiner.
