Great Draw

By PartnerinClimb Ranked #72 - Carabiners, Quickdraws, and Belay Devices September 16, 2008

I generally use Petzl spirits as my draw of choice, but wanted to lighten up my rack and bought these to serve as anchor side biners (and pick up some spare dogbones). Now I find myself with a dilemma: these biners clip so nicely I'm thinking I might keep them as is. My fav feature is the notch at the base of the spine. My rope seems to be drawn to it and it makes placing my middle finger for clips wicked easy (much more so than with the Spirit). The only thing the Spirit still has up on it is the notchless gate, which really does make life quite a bit easier. One other thing to keep in mind is that, unlike the pic and description, the biners come in different colors (mine were silver on one side and blue on the other). For what I originally had in mind that's a con, but if I were considering this purchase for use as a draw, a uniform color might be a deal breaker.
