Any full size draw with a keylock bolt end biner and wire-gate rope end is almost just as good. Not as pretty looking or smooth feeling, but functionally just as good. |
|
Petzl sprits or Petzl ange with the large carabiner on the rope end. Also all petzl lockers seem to far better than any others on the market in my opinion. |
|
Wild Country Heliums. |
|
I think those newer BDs with the nifty finger shelf on the spine look great. But I've never used them, or touched one. :p |
|
Petzl Spirits |
|
Mammut trad slings with two helium wire biners. Love the heliums btw: nice and wide gate opening and super light, non catch too! I don't remember when I climbed pure a sport route last. I switched to those when I got my rack, never went back. I used to have PETZL dogbones...with rubber thingies on them... |
|
Whatever I can get my desperate, filthy thieving mitts on at Easter Rock. |
|
+1 Petzl Spirit! I wouldn't buy anything else nor would I steal a bunch of draws off a route that I knew someone left only due to dangerous lightning conditions. I was with James that evening and the next morning and let's just say the culprit is lucky they weren't my draws. We sent our project the next day anyway and had a hell of a 4th of July! |
|
Purely sport climbing +1 for the BD livewires, trad routes I use BD hoodwires |
|
anything me or my partner have on us at the time ... |
|
I really like the BD livewires. I even bought some. |
|
i think the new petzl spirit draws suck. wayyyy too stiff. i have several sets of draws, and my favorite is probably bent and straight gate dynatrons with a regular length standard petzl (old) bone. |
|
I really like the Petzl Ange w/ the small biner on the wall side and large biner on the rope side. Super easy to clip and clean. I disagree that they're too stiff, too. The dogbone is definitely stiff but there's a large loop on the wall side that lets the whole thing move around while maintaining the proper rope side biner orientation. |

The DMM alpha sport QuickDraw is awesome. clipping them is like butta |
|
Grivel Alpha ... duh! |
|
BD quicksilvers, smoothest action Ive ever felt. |

I even replaced the bones on my livewires (also way too stiff...even the long ones)with the petzl express (old style) bones. The new express bones are a downgrade in the design. |

Little Ange and big Ange with the new white Petzl dogbones. Don't really care for the skinny new FINESSE slings. |
