French term or phrase: mousqueton (d'escalade)

Les cordes, les **mousquetons** et les renvois utilisés dans l’escalade indoor doivent en effet pouvoir supporter un nombre élevé d’utilisations et résister aux parois rugueuses ainsi qu’aux sollicitations en top-rope.

Some possibilities: crab, carabiner, karabiner, snap, snap hook, snap-lock, clasp - but which is best? Experienced mountaineers needed!
