Types of carabiner preferred for bridge

[drew]

Just curious as to what the majority are using for bridge to tether carabiner. I assume everyone is using a locking biner, but Im wonder shape and size.
Pear, asymmetric D, Oval, D,? and what size - large belay/rappel or a small

I got the three pack of the positrons and I love them. They are light!

This is my go to carabiner as well. Light, small and generally priced right.

I prefer a pear for my bridge, tends to have more surface area and Less snag potential. Also more room to work with one hand, especially with gloves. I use a webbing bridge. I can see an oval or d working great for a rope bridge. Just make sure you use a locking one, screen down so you dont screw up, and have the gate towards you!

Petzl Attaché for me on bridge and lineman belt. I like my biners on the small side and this one is the smallest I think I could do comfortably.

I use a pear shaped biner as well. I like having a hand hold and when setting my last step sometimes I will go ahead and attach my tether and use the biner as something to pull on.

Also a key lock style, so no notch to get things stuck in when ssliding things on and out of the biner which is nice.

Yep forgot to mention that. Simple screw lock w/ the red “you’re dead” unlock indicator.

I just started a thread on getting onto the last step.... I always feel a little "iffy" just grabbing the tree. I will have to try that.
