What is a "quickdraw"?
A quickdraw is a piece of climbing equipment used to connect a rope to an anchor or climbing protection. It consists of two clips connected by a short, strong strap or webbing. One clip is attached to the climbing rope, while the other is attached to a fixed point, like a bolt or protection in the rock. Quickdraws allow the rope to move more easily while climbing and help reduce friction, making climbing safer and more efficient.
Examples
The climber used a quickdraw to secure the rope to the bolt.
