The 6 Best alpine quickdraws (2023 reviews)

For a low asking price, petzl alpine quickdraw has managed to overwhelm their customers by packing as many features as they could. It’s built for everyday use at the crag or in the mountains. It’ll hold a couple spans of 600 accc, hold up comm and cable and use them to tie off on steps on fiberglass poles. The keylock system prevents the carabiner from snagging when clipping and unclipping, especially useful when sport climbing on lead.

The pack contains 6 djinn axes ( 12 cm) quickdraws with blue bent gate carabiners. It helps maintain correct orientation of the bottom carabiner. The gate is wide so doing a clove hitch or other anchoring tasks are easier. It’s a petzel beanier, it’s nice.

Why We Like This:

Really smooth, snappy and easy to clip/un-clip
Available in two lengths and two colors

DMM Alpha sport Quickdraw

Buy on Amazon

If you want nothing but the best desirable quickdraw, then dmm alpha sport quickdraw is the one you should definitely consider. Sport carabiners have extra material in areas of high wear to deal with the repeated falls and intensive use of sport climbing. This creates a clean internal profile that wont catch on gear, bolts or slings, giving easier clipping and stripping of routes. The Alpha carabiners have grippy back bars, deep rope baskets and a shape that sits naturally in the hand for ease of use. The Grooves in the gate give extra grip, increasing control when making tricky clips.

These gates are shaped to guide the rope into the carabiner during clipping. It fits naturally in the hand, and combines with its large gate opening to make the carabiner very easy to clip.

Why We Like This:

Solid gates are robust and give positive handling
Grooves on the back bar increase grip for confident handling
Good investment for long term

DMM alpine Quickdraw

The dmm alpine quickdraw's superior materials makes sure that it ages well with use. Wire gates are the lightest gate type available, and are appropriate for trad, alpine and winter climbing, where minimal weight is desirable. The Chimera carabiner's fully clean nose and 9kN open gate strength give snag free functionality and security. These are less likely to freeze and clog with ice than solid gate biners, making them ideal for winter and alpine climbing.

The carabiners on Dmm's quickdraws are differentiated by colour, allowing you to consistently use the same end for either protection or ropes. It is achieved through hot forging, a process which allows metal to be made into complex shapes that improve functionality.
