Alpha VW Sport Quickdraw
Bolt hangers can wreck havoc on lightweight wire-gate draws, especially if you're regularly whipping off a project and hang-dogging through sequences. To address the issue, DMM fitted its featherlight Alpha biners with hot-forged solid gates to make the Alpha VW Sport Quickdraw. The combination of durability, easy handling, effortless clipping, and a relatively low weight make this draw the perfect choice for sport climbers who expect their gear to work as hard as they do.

Beware - old stock
Carabiners are great. The fantastic feel that you expect from DMM's hot forging process. The problem - dogbones are old stock - tag dated 2017 production purchased in 2025. Only 2 years of useful life on the soft-goods per DMM's specs. Buyer beware - you're paying full price for old gear.

Yes, they clip as good as they look.
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I'll quote my climbing partner's reaction to the first round of using these lil' dudes, "They're like the sports car of quickdraws." I have had such good experiences with DMM biners that I sprung for a dozen of these when it was time to freshen the sport rack. Crazy smooth clipping and unclipping on both the gear and rope end. They seem burly and I suspect they will pass the test of time. The gear end of the dogbone has a nice play to it, good for clipping bolts or cams. They probably won't be coming into the backcountry with me, but for any cragging a few of these will be on the gear sling.
