Buy in sets of 6 or 12. Most sport routes need 10-14 quickdraws, so a 12-pack plus a couple of extras covers most situations.
Gate Type: Straight gate on top (clipping the bolt) and bent gate on bottom (clipping the rope) is the standard combo. Wiregate draws are lighter. Keylock gates prevent snagging on bolt hangers.
Length: 10-12cm is standard for most sport routes. 17-25cm draws reduce rope drag on wandering routes and overlaps.
Weight: Ranges from 70g (ultralight wiregate) to 120g+ (solid gate). Weight adds up over a full rack — lighter draws reduce arm fatigue on long routes.
Dogbone: The nylon sling connecting the two carabiners. Look for thin but durable dogbones with a rubber keeper on the rope-end carabiner to prevent cross-loading.
Most sport routes need 10-14 quickdraws plus two for the anchor. A set of 12 covers the majority of routes. Check the guidebook or route description for bolt counts before heading out. For gym lead climbing, the gym usually provides pre-hung draws.
