Preview to Tailored Quickdraws for Rock Climbing Kids: Considerations to Make Clipping Easy

Maybe you have kids and this will help, or maybe just thinking through carabiners more rigorously will help you think through if you want to make changes to your own rack. My twin boys are starting to take on multi-pitch rock climbing and single-pitch sport climbing leads. Both require that they handle quickdraws. In order to make sure they had as easy of time as possible with managing the rope, managing climbing, and managing the gear, I searched for specific carabiner choices for their draws. The full video has the criteria we used and the carabiners we've selected.

You can find the "hangar end" carabiners we are using: CAMP USA Dyon,

and the rope end carabiners: CAMP USA Nano 22,

and the 11cm CAMP USA Sling Stop KS Dyneema Dogbone for the sling between the carabiners.
