	Quickdraws
		Quickdraws reduce rope drag when a rope is pulled through a series of carabiners which are not necessarily aligned.
		For leading and top roping at an indoor climbing wall usually the quickdraws are already attached to the protection points on the route. The lower carabiner, (the one with the bent gate) should be clipped so the gate is pointing away from the rope and pointing away from the climbing wall or rock face.
		This is a lightweight quickdraw and excels on mountaineering, trad and alpine climbs.

	Snow+Rock - Outdoor Equipment - Quickdraws
		A quickdraw, so named because it’s quick to use, provides the essential link between the crack protection equipment and the climber’s rope.
		A climber clips one end of the quickdraw onto the rock/nut, wedged into a crack in the rock, and clips the other end onto their rope, thereby providing essential security in case of a fall.
		Quickdraws are precision—made for a variety of activities, with different strengths according to the amount of weight you will be carrying.

		Used to reduce rope drag and to prevent accidental dislodging of protection on the lead, quickdraws are specialized pieces of equipment that come in a variety of styles, lengths and with varying types of carabiners dedicated to either end.
		We feel that this is the safestmethod to minimize the possibility of simultaneously loading both carabiners in a gate-open position while leading routes which may wander above and to the left or right of your last placement.

		So when I am aid climbing, I have this tendency to carry quickdraws...
		If you are going to bring and use two biners per piece, isn't that 9/10th of the weight and bulk of a quickdraw anyway, especially with the floss-like runners being used now?
		I can see situations in which single biners are okay: if the route follows a straight line and also if the pro allows the biner itself to sit perpendicularly to the rock (this allows the rope to run smoothly without pinching it against the rock).
