Easy Clipping | |

| I use the Hotwire quickdraws for both sport and trad. I had 8 of the Black Diamond Positron draws that performed well but added 8 of the Hotwires draws for the Hotwire biner and continued use of the keylock Positron. Now I'm set for long sport lines. I also supplement my alpine draws (24" slings w/ 2 Hotwires) with several of the Hotwire draws and I'm set! I actually find myself preferentially racking with the Hotwire quickdraws over my well-used positron draws. | |

The only draw I use | |

| These are the best draws, so get yourself a rack of them. They combine the best features for sport draws-- easy to clip and carry, don't snag, and a comfortable clip on the rope end. They just went up a bit in price, but you won't find a more finger friendly draw for your rock and ice climbs. | |

| Just started leading with a set of these. They're good size and easy to open on both ends. I'm satisfied. No complaints. | |
