Black Diamond HotForge Hybrid Quickpack 12 cm - heldergroen

Sport and trad climbers demand gear that is both featherlight and bombproof, and the Black Diamond HotForge Hybrid Quickpack delivers exactly that. Each of the six quickdraws in this pack pairs a solid-gate HotForge carabiner on top with a wire-gate HotForge carabiner on the bottom, connected by an 18mm Dynex sling. The result is a rack that shaves grams without compromising on strength, so you can push your limits on the sharp end.

Advantages

The HotForge Hybrid Quickpack is built around Black Diamond's forged aluminum HotForge carabiners, which offer an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The top carabiner features a solid gate for secure clipping into bolts, while the bottom carabiner uses a wire gate to reduce rope drag and prevent gate flutter. The 12 cm sling length provides the ideal balance between reach and compactness for most sport and trad routes. With a major axis strength of 24 kN and a sling strength of 22 kN, this quickpack meets the rigorous demands of modern climbing.

Suitable for

• Sport climbing on steep limestone or granite
