Black Diamond FreeWire Quickdraw

Black Diamond FreeWire Quickdraw description

Black Diamond's FreeWire Quickdraw combines two wire-gate carabiners and a durable nylon dogbone in a set for climbers who don't want to go broke for draws. The wire gates eliminate gate flutter and reduce the chance they'll come open in a fall. This Black Diamond quickdraw also resists freezing better than solid gate models, which makes it excellent for winter climbing. Best of all, the FreeWire Quickdraw weighs only 3.4 ounces to keep your rack light.

I've been using these draws for the past few months, and I'm quite pleased with them. They thicker runner between the biners keeps this from twisting, and is stiff enough for a quick bolt clip. I prefer these to more expensive, thinner quickdraws. They're very light weight, and have held up well on falls.

Between the hotwire biners and the nylon sling this quickdraw is an excellent choice for durability. Excellent for sport routes, especially comforting looking at a 20 foot drop. They are a decent weight, there is lighter out there, but unless you're alpine climbing these work great. The biners don't rotates as much with this as they do with the dynex dogbone. The stiffness can add to rope drag, but just make sure to carry a few double slings tripled up, and you'll be set.

Cheaper to buy the draw than the biners individually. Good BD wiregate biners and a basic draw. Hard to go wrong!
