Climbing > QuickdrawsRated: ***** by 12 reviews.

Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS)

The most popular PetzlĀ® Spirit Quickdraw combines the classic Spirit straight gate and bent gate carabiners with an 17 cm Express sling. Lightweight yet strong, and exceptionally fast and smooth clipping. As Rock & Ice Magazine says, "This is the Ferrari of quickdraws."

Features:

  • Asymmetric carabiners made of super strong, long-lasting anodized aluminum
  • Curved-gate Spirit flares out to present a wide and friendly rope-bearing surface
  • Individually tested, CE and UIAA certified
  • Narrowed ends for correct seating of the carabiner
  • Stiff Express sling features string webbing protector to keep carabiners aligned with strongest axis
  • Straight-gate Spirit is very easy to clip to hangers or anchor points thanks to ergonomic shape and snag-free Keylock system gate
  • Strength: 22 kN
  • Weighs only 109 g

REI

A solid quickdraw set for clipping bolts and extending gear placements, the Petzl Spirit Express provides excellent handling.

  • 17cm sling connects both bent and straight carabiners, making it ideal for bolt clipping or extending cam and nut placements
  • Bent-gate Spirit carabiner features a curved gate and a frame shape that make clipping the rope a breeze
  • Straight-gate Spirit 'biner offers an ergonomic shape and textured grip on the gate, making it easy to clip on and off any anchor point
  • Both 'biners feature keylock noses that won't snag on bolts or gear
  • Tough nylon webbing with bar-tacked sewing offers a 22kN breaking strength
  • Petzl String end cap holds bent-gate carabiner in proper orientation while also protecting a high-wear area of the sling

Mountain Gear

The Spirit Quickdraw from Petzl, the true luxury sportclimbing draw, features a straight gate Spirit biner for easy route clipping on one end and a bent gate Spirit biner of the other for fast, clean rope clips - all strung between a tough Express sling.

Features:

  • Avoid frustrating snags and grabs - the Keylock system gate eliminates the hook found on most biners
  • Firmly secure the bottom carabiner thanks to the stiff sling and rubber grommet
  • Naturally shaped biners have shaped grips that facilitate clipping and unclipping

"Look smart, get these"

Rating:*****
i was using some dirtbagsactual name of draws and the tooth was making it hard to clip, impossible to stick clip, and a hassle to get rope in. i went with a friend who had these first thing, 30lbs lighter more like 5, but on a 5.12, it feels like 30, secondly the gate is super smooth, and theres no tooth. rodeo clipping these bad boys is not a problem. the dogbones dont slide around the biner, and they're color coordinated.

High Quality Product

Rating:*****
These quick draws are great for 5.10 sport routes where you need a draw that's stiff enough to reach with, smooth enough to clip quick and strong enough to handle a screamer. These babes are bomb proof and will last a lifetime. They have some weight to them so if you start to get too many on your sling you'll feel it, but the peace of mind is worth it. A little pricey but the quality is there.

"if you can afford 'em, hell, why not"

Rating:*****
Honestly any draws will get the job done, but with these draws you just look good doing it, which is what really matters. But seriously, they're pretty light they clip very smoothly and they're even have color-coated biners so when you take your mom climbing you can just say 'ITS THE ORANGE ONE CLIP THE ORANGE ONE TO THE BOLT' or whatever. they're just pretty.

Great for a Drop Line

Rating:****
I use this with a Petzl rescue pulley as a drop line in the Entertainment industry. It sits perfectly on 1 1/2" Schedule 40 pipe though if I run into a situation with larger diameter pipe I'm not sure how it will work.

Hard to find it, but it really worth it.

Rating:*****
I´m from Mexico. I really like this quickdraw. I´m totally confident in the brand. It was hard to get it because it was out of stock, but the time I had to wait worth it.

"The best!!"

Rating:*****
I think that these are the best draws on the market, they will last forever if taken care of and they are super light, yet have plenty of strength. Buy em all!!

"The Quickest . . ."

Rating:*****
Another Petzl Masterpiece! Everything about this quickdraw should make it an easy choice whether its the color coding, that fat dogbone, or the straight gate / bent gate combination. Ferb

Buy them and buy them from Mountain Gear

Rating:*****
Great sport draw. The discount for buying 6+ is nice. Makes them about the same price as lesser draws. Mountain Gear service is very good. Highly recommend both.
Rik at Mountain Gear on 03/05/2009

Great quickdraw for the price!

Rating:*****
These have a smooth bent gate that makes it easy to clip your rope. I highly recommend these for sport climbing and beginner lead climbing!

a perfect draw

Rating:*****
Quickdraws don't get any better. The spirit draws are light, the clipping action is great, I have 12, and want 12 more!
