Quickdraws

Quickdraws serve as essential climbing gear connecting rope to protection points during lead climbing, consisting of two carabiners joined by sewn webbing dogbones that facilitate efficient clipping while reducing rope drag on sport routes, trad climbs, and alpine objectives. Our collection of climbing quickdraws includes specialized configurations optimized for different disciplines-ultralight sport climbing quickdraws emphasizing weight savings, extendable alpine quickdraws managing complex rope paths, and durable quickdraw sets designed for gym training and frequent use.

Sport climbing quickdraws feature short dogbone lengths typically ranging from 10-12cm, keeping rope close to bolt lines on straight-forward sport routes where minimizing extension and weight takes priority. Wire-gate carabiners reduce overall mass while preventing gate flutter during rope movement. Keylock nose designs eliminate snagging during cleaning, allowing smooth carabiner removal from bolt hangers. These rock climbing quickdraws excel on overhanging routes where every gram matters during sustained sequences.

Alpine quickdraws incorporate longer webbing lengths from 18-30cm, providing extension that reduces rope drag around edges, over roofs, and through wandering protection placements common on multi-pitch traditional routes. Extendable designs allow climbers to adjust length as needed, carrying fewer overall pieces while maintaining route-finding flexibility. Sturdier construction withstands abrasion from rock contact during complex mountain routes where quickdraws may drag across features.
