Metolius Inferno Wire-Gate Quickdraw - 2008 BCS
Available Colors / Styles
The versatile Metolius Inferno Wire-Gate Quickdraw works well for anything from clipping bolts to clipping cams to clipping ice screws. Summer or winter, this Metolius draw performs thanks to dual wire-gate carabiners that don't freeze in the cold or flutter during a big sport whipper. The Inferno's sling uses a blend of Dyneema and nylon to decrease weight without shortening its life span.
Bottom Line: Whatever you climb, get it done with the Metolius Inferno Wire-Gate Quickdraw.

super strong and light biners, two different colors would be nice on this quickdraw. the lengths are awesome verylittle rope drag with these guys. the rubber piece on the rope end would make this the best quickdraw i own.

If you want light or cheap these are for you. I can't say they are my favorite quickdraw, but they are pretty darn good. And at $4.91 less per draw then my Petzl's, well you know why I own quite a few.
Great carabiners, but QD needs improvement

The Inferno is one of my favorite wire-gate carabiners. This quickdraw would be great, but, unfortunately, is missing two important features. 1- The 'biners need to be different colors to quickly differentiate between the two ends. 2- It needs a sewn-in rubber retainer for the rope end to keep that 'biner from turning in the sling. At the price-point, I think both of these things are reasonable. Until those improvements are made, I think Wild Country or Black Diamond are the way to go.EDIT: I noticed that Metolius does offer a dual-colored Inferno draw, and I would recommend that Backcountry starts carrying that one. I guess my only real gripe is the lack of rubber retainer on the rope-end.

I just ordered a set of these and I too wished that Backcountry carried the dual color - they are the same price whether you get all brown or brown/green on the metolius site, but as I had a coupon for backcountry I dealt with all brown.
I just received them today and noticed that on some of the draws, the rope end is tight around the biner and on others, much looser. I don't think a rubber gasket would be necessary if they were all as snug as some of them are - but they need better quality control to keep them consistent. I'm happy with the biners but pretty disappointed with the dogbones, and wondering if there is a way to exchange them - but probably would have the same problem with the replacements.
Change me.
