Quickdraws

This thing will make your climbing life easier, we promise.

A quickdraw for sport climbing that incorporates many of Black Diamond's most appealing innovations.

These things are bombproof.

An excellent all-purpose quickdraw

The Djinn Axess Quickdraw (the D is silent) is Petzl's new "beginner's" quickdraw. But I'd argue that Petzl got it wrong. The Djinn Axess is not only great for beginners, but the draw fills the bill for seasoned sport climbers looking for an inexpensive quickdraw that works as well as the best.

There is a monster that looms above the Rock and Ice after-work crag known as Deep Eddy.

Climbtech, the company that invented removable bolts [Field Tested, No. 174] has just come out with a line of price-point gear dubbed Everyman's Pro Deal. The new gear includes carabiners, ascenders, camming wedges, belay/rappel devices, pulleys and quickdraws.

I've always figured that making do with less meant hardship. Less money meant less fun. Less time off meant more work.

Finally, a quickdraw built for actual, real-world sport climbing! The Black Diamond LiveWire is a snazzy green quickdraw that has quickly become my favorite way to connect rope to rock.
