Sport quickdraw for durability and easy clipping
Sport carabiners are mounted on durable nylon to create robust and easily clipped quickdraws. Sport carabiners have extra material in areas of high wear to deal with the repeated falls and intensive use of sport climbing. The nylon sling used to connect the carabiners is highly durable and easy to grab when working routes.
Solid gate at the bolt end for positive handling
Solid gates are robust and give positive handling. Grooves in the gate give extra grip, increasing control when making tricky clips. Solid gates are also better able to deal with the wear and tear of modern sport climbing.
Bent gate at the rope end for easy clipping
These gates are shaped to guide the rope into the carabiner during clipping. Grooves in the gate improve handling, for greater control when making tricky clips.
Keylock nose eliminates snagging
This carabiner's nose slots into a groove in the gate, allowing it to achieve full strength without a gate notch. This creates a clean internal profile that won't catch on gear, bolts or slings, giving easier clipping and stripping of routes.
I-Beam construction for optimum strength to weight ratio
I-Beam construction techniques allow carabiners to be lighter without compromising strength. This is achieved through hot forging, a process which allows metal to be made into complex shapes that improve functionality.
Mounted on Nylon for durability and easy grabbing
Sport carabiners are mounted on thick Nylon webbing, creating durable quickdraws that are easy to haul on when you're working routes.
Contrasting carabiner colours identify rope and gear ends of quickdraw
Contact with wires and bolts can mark a carabiner with sharp edges that might be harmful to ropes. The carabiners on our quickdraws are differentiated by colour, allowing you to consistently use the same end for either protection or ropes.
Carabiners:
Due to its relatively low weight, the Shadow gives you the edge when onsight sport climbing
This also means the Shadow is good for sport climbers who occasionally go trad climbing but don’t want a second set of quickdraws
Areas where the Shadow hangs on bolts have been reinforced with extra metal to resist bolt damage
A clean nose reduces snagging and makes stripping steep routes easier, improving security and functionality
Certifications: EN 12275:2013 B, UIAA121:2009 Class B
Shadow Straight Gate:
The Shadow’s straight gate features thumb grips that make it easier to open, while its broad base gives plenty of room for racking gear

Gate Opening: 20mm
Shadow Bent Gate:
Rope bearing areas feature more metal for consistent rope running and increased resistance to wear
A clean nose prevents snagging, for easier clipping and stripping of routes
Colour: Blue / Titanium
Dimensions: 58 x 102mm
Weight: 43g
Minimum Breaking Strength:
Major Axis: 24kN
Minor Axis: 9kN
