belay device or carbiner
belay devices are mechanical friction brake devices used when belaying. They allow careful control of the belay rope. Their main purpose is to allow locking off of the rope with minimal effort. Many types of belay devices exist, and some of these may additionally be used as descenders, for controlled descent on a rope, that is, abseiling or rappeling.

Comment: "This is the answer I probably should have used, although it's been submitted already. I used 'fall arrester', hopefully that's good enough."
