The Mad Rock Gemini is a locking carabiner designed specifically for belaying that actually has two gates. Not only that, but it also has two separate chambers and openings, joined in the middle, making it one of the most unique, and bizarre, locking carabiner designs that we have tested. The purpose behind this design is to prevent the locker, or belay device, from rotating when belaying, and thereby avoiding cross-loading. It does this well, but at times comes across as perhaps a bit too complicated to achieve this purpose. While there is only one screw down lock, the hinges of the two gates overlap so if one gate is locked, the other one is also pinned closed. The two gates can also open at the same time, but the very small gate openings limit it to belay use. While it may look weird, the Gemini is an affordable and effective belay locker, but doesn’t have much use for any other purpose.
