CAMP Nano 22 is one of the lightest climbing-rated carabiners available. They’re designed for fluid use with ropes of all diameters and significantly reduce weight and bulk on a rack. The asymmetric D-shape offers a wider gate opening for easier clipping. With an impressive strength rating for its weight – 21 kN major axis and 8 kN minor axis – they're built for climbing, but work great for hammock suspensions.
An easy-to-use wire gate means less weight with fewer parts to break and a wider gate opening that won’t freeze up in cold or rain. And the lower mass also means the gate is less likely to vibrate open during a fall (gate lash). Although a wire gate carabiner may not appear as strong as a straight or bent gate, they’re plenty strong without the added weight.
At just 0.78 oz (22 g), the Nano 22 is one of the lightest fully-functional carabiners on the market with some unique attributes that set it apart from smaller carabiners. The inner working space is large enough to use a clove hitch with ropes of any diameter. The gate opening is wide enough for easy clipping on the sharp end. And the profiled nose slips in and out of tight chain links.

I do not climb but spent some time in gear stores weighing climbing carabiners and these were the lightest. Just bought more

These are serious carabiners. At 22 g they are amazing. Thanks Litesmith!
