Black Diamond Hotforge Hybrid Quickdraw 16CM

This quickdraw is designed for climbers seeking efficiency, low weight and reliability for sport and alpine climbing. Its hybrid construction combines two different types of carabiners, each selected for its role when clipping into protection and attaching the rope.

The upper HotForge carabiner features a Keylock nose that facilitates clipping into bolts and other protection points while helping prevent snagging. The lower HotWire carabiner uses a wiregate design that contributes to low weight and allows quick rope clipping. Its contrasting colour improves visibility while climbing.

The 18 mm polyester dogbone provides strength and durability for regular use. Its 16 cm length offers greater freedom when positioning the rope, helping reduce drag and proving particularly useful on routes with changing directions or around rock features.

The integrated Straitjacket insert keeps the lower carabiner in the optimal position for rope clipping. The carabiners are made from 7075 aluminium containing 25% pre-consumer recycled aluminium.

The combination of hybrid carabiners, an extended dogbone and low weight makes this model a practical choice for sport routes and alpine climbs where efficient rope management is essential.
