Hawk Zoom Quickdraw - 5-Pack

A Quickdraw is essential climbing gear that connects your rope to the climbing route. It consists of two carabiners linked by a strong sling, allowing you to clip your rope quickly and securely as you ascend. Using Quickdraws helps protect you from falls by providing secure attachment points to the rock, making them a must-have for any climber.

When selecting a carabiner, consider its shape, strength, and locking mechanism. Straight gate carabiners are great for quick clipping, while bent gate carabiners are ideal for attaching to anchors. Look for carabiners with a high strength rating (measured in kilonewtons) to ensure safety. Always choose a carabiner that fits your specific climbing style and equipment.

A Keylock Nose design eliminates the hook or notch at the end of the gate, which helps prevent snagging on gear or ropes during clipping and unclipping. This feature makes the process smoother and safer, reducing the risk of accidental drops or entanglements while climbing.

Slings are versatile tools in climbing, made from strong, durable materials. They can be used to create Quickdraws, extend placements, or build anchors. The strength and durability of a sling are crucial for safety, so always choose high-quality slings that meet your climbing needs.

A Rubber Retainer stabilizes the carabiner when clipped to the rope, ensuring it stays oriented correctly for easy clipping and unclipping. This feature enhances the efficiency of your climbing setup, making it safer and more convenient, especially during challenging climbs.

Yes! Quickdraws and carabiners are not only used in climbing but can also be utilized in various outdoor activities such as mountaineering, canyoneering, and even for securing gear while camping. Their versatility makes them valuable tools for any outdoor enthusiast.
