Royal Robbins Oval Carabiner, 2000kg, Yosemite History Vintage 1980's RARE
Very rare to find a Royal Robbins Carabiner. This oval carabiner was produced in the early 1980's just before Royal closed down the hard goods side of the business. These carabiners were made by Chouinard. They match the Chouinard oval carabiners from the time period perfectly, the only differences being the name Royal Robbins and the colored gate.
Royal Robbins hardware was only around for about a decade or so between the early 70's to the early 80's. Royal Robbins opened his first retail mountain shop in 1971 and closed down the hard goods side of the business in the early 1980's to focus primarily on clothing. Royal Robbins was one of the pioneers of Yosemite Big Wall climbing. Royal climbed with other well known Yosemite climbers Tom Frost, Chuck Pratt & Yvon Chouinard. Royal did several 1st accents in the Yosemite Valley.
Carabiner is in used vintage condition. Some wear from use. Fully functional and work well. See pictures for full description.
Pictures are of a representative carabiner from the bunch. Carabiner will be randomly picked from the bunch when purchased until all carabiners are sold.
