Spencer Huffman, Rock and Alpine Guide | Climbing Instructor and Coach
Big chunky dogbone that comes in a few different lengths. Great for frenching on draws and snappy clipping action.
Recommended in Sport Climbing
This is my favorite quick draw for sport climbing for the following reasons: 1) Smooth key lock action on both carabiner gates. There is nothing on the nose of the carabiners to get hooked on. Carainers with a nose tend to get stuck on gear loops, ropes, and bolt hangers. Not with these. 2) Best dog bone to grab. We've all been there. Your pumped, but you don't want to take the ride. The dog bone on this quick draw is ergonomically shaped for great "shrimp clipping" experiences. No shame. I bring 12 of these to the crag most days plus one 25cm and one 11cm.
