Unless you are the only one who would ever use them, I would assume tower climbers will not distinguish between ‘biners for lifting only vs. for life safety e.g. tying off. It doesn’t seem to me that the steel ones weight that much, unless you’re carrying a bunch of them as you climb. Pulleys are a different matter, plus those are used only for lifting, unless you’re ziplining.

I'm looking for something like this in Aluminum (for lower weight) but without that cross piece on the bottom. These are big carabiners, the gate opens about 2" and it's about 8" from top to bottom. All I'm coming up with are Steel, which are 3x the weight, or these with that pin at the bottom. I've seen some pictures where it looks like the pin may be removable, but no sites give good details on the carabiners other than the load rating. Anyone have a good source for these? Small carabiners are really easy to find, but the large one's are being elusive for me.
