Funny this thread popped up. Just found one on a climb a week ago. Biner wouldn't even open. Probably been there twenty years, hanging from a bolt twenty feet up an offwidth.

As Tami intimates upthreads, twice at least:-), the strength of the Eigers was less than desirable. In the best configuration, end to end, WHEN NEW they tested a thrilling 1800 lbs. Less than most modern biners take right on the gate.

You could stretch them almost to point of contact by hand...

Can anyone tell me about this carabiner? One side is stamped US and on the other is a line and beside the line is a T and under the T is an S with a line between them. Under that is a 66 on top of each. It is made of steel

Any idea what is written on one side: "a line and beside the line is a T and under the T is an S with a line between them. Under that is a 66 on top of each"

The only biners I have ever broken in a fall were Eigers and Libertys. Its amazing any of us survived climbing with that junk. Even as clearer biners Eiger's were weak.
