The Black Diamond HotForge Hybrid Draw combines smooth, snag‑free clipping with the reliability of a wiregate, making it a versatile all‑around quickdraw for sport and trad climbing. A snag‑free 16 cm HotForge keylock carabiner sits on the bolt end for clean, effortless clipping, while the redesigned HotWire wiregate on the rope end—colour‑coded for visibility—provides fast, secure clips when you’re moving upward with intent.
The durable 18 mm polyester dogbone is easy to grab on projecting days and features BD’s Straitjacket insert, which keeps the rope‑end carabiner perfectly oriented for consistent, confidence‑inspiring clipping.
