Dan Morley recommends the Black Diamond Miniwire Alpine Quickdraw 3 Pack for quickdraws. You'll need alpine draws to connect your protection to your rope while leading. In some cases, you'll want to extend your draw to prevent rope drag and reduce abrasion. This is one of the reasons we use alpine draws in lieu of of quickdraws. An alpine draw typically consists of a 60cm sewn sling and two non-locking carabiners. However, for extending past roofs, you'll want a couple double-length (120cm) alpine draws. You can either buy a sling and two non-lockers to make your own alpine draw or buy a pre-made alpine draw, usually in sets of three or four. The pre-made option will save you a few dollars per draw but you can't customize your color scheme. I prefer black carabiners for my draws so that I don't confuse them with the racking carabiners for the cams.
