Black Diamond Hotforge Hybrid Quickdraw 12CM

This quickdraw is designed for climbers seeking a balance of smooth clipping, low weight and efficiency. Its hybrid construction combines two different types of carabiners, each serving a specific purpose.

The upper HotForge carabiner features a Keylock nose that helps prevent snagging when clipping bolts and other protection points. The lower HotWire carabiner uses a wiregate design to reduce weight and facilitate rope clipping. Its contrasting colour improves visibility and provides a clear visual target while climbing.

The 18 mm polyester dogbone is durable, hard-wearing and easy to grab when handling the quickdraw on a route. The integrated Straitjacket insert keeps the lower carabiner in the optimal position, making rope clipping easier and reducing unwanted rotation.

The carabiners are made from 7075 aluminium containing 25% pre-consumer recycled aluminium. The combination of Keylock construction, a wiregate design and a durable dogbone makes this quickdraw suitable for sport climbing and a variety of alpine routes.
