Petzl Spirit Express Quickdraws are a super lightweight, with a wide dogbone for easy handling and a rubber piece on the rope end so that the carabiner stays in place when clipping the rope. The Spirit Express draws come in 12 or 17 cm lengths.
Typically, you need a draw for every bolt on a route, two for the anchors, and an additional two or three in case you need more in a tricky situation. On average, 12 to 16 draws will be enough for many sport crags. However it is important to look at the areas that you will usually climb at and determine how many you need to bring along.
Sport routes have a fixed line of bolts drilled into the rock to protect the route and a set of fixed anchors at the top, so sport climbers just need a rack of quickdraws ЎЄtwo non-locking carabiners connected by a sewn slingЎЄ to protect a route. Quickdraws typically come in two lengths; a short version that is 10 to 12 cm long and a long version between 15 and 18 cm long. Shorter draws are lighter and less bulky on your harness and are good for straight forward routes, while longer draws reduce rope drag and are great for meandering routes or overhung cliffs. A set of draws made up of a mixture of the two lengths gives you the option to use long or short draws depending on the character of a route. |
