20-mm. opening between mouth and open gate. Ergonomic shape for easy clipping on the first try.

By combining a bent gate and ergonomic rounded shape Petzl came up with an easy-clipping carabiner that appeals to both newcomers and guides. The asymmetrical bent-gate Spirit clips into ropes easily even with a gate shorter than many oval carabiners. Petzl's Keylock System creates reduces snags between the body and gate so you can add protection quickly with fewer fumbles.
