When you are lead climbing, you need the Quickdraw to clip to the hanger and to the rope quickly and efficiently to save energy and stay safe. It is important to find the Quickdraw that is perfect for your style of climbing. One thing to consider when choosing your Quickdraw is the carabiner gate, the part of the carabiner that opens to connect to the hanger or rope. Wiregate carabiners are typically lighter and less susceptible to freezing making them perfect for ice or high-end sport climbing routes. The solid gates are a little heavier, but this makes them less likely to open during a fall.
Another helpful thing to consider is the length of the Quickdraw. Longer draws are heavier and bulkier while climbing, but are much more versatile and better at preventing rope drag. Shorter draws are perfect for routes that don't wander and the rope won't drag as much along the wall. Most climbers recommend bringing a mixture of both lengths to ensure you are prepared for any route.
