Black Diamond LiteWire Quickdraw 16cm

The Black Diamond LiteWire Quickdraw is a lightweight, durable climbing quickdraw designed for sport climbing, trad routes, and alpine missions where reliability and efficiency are critical. Built around Black Diamond’s LiteWire carabiners, it delivers a strong, compact clipping system with excellent handling.

Featuring hot-forged LiteWire carabiners with a wiregate design, this quickdraw reduces weight while maintaining strength and performance. The snag-free nose geometry ensures smooth clipping and unclipping, while the 16cm polyester dogbone offers durability and optimal length for reducing rope drag on wandering routes.

A Straitjacket insert keeps the rope-end carabiner properly oriented, improving clipping consistency and safety. Designed for versatility across climbing disciplines, the LiteWire Quickdraw is a dependable, no-frills solution for climbers who prioritise lightweight performance and durability.
