Cora Hanson's review
This is another great quickdraw option that's more affordable than the Petzl draws but just as durable and easy-to-clip. I always recommend having 12 quickdraws total if you want to be able to climb longer sport routes, or if you want to have two climbers set up two shorter routes at the same time!
