DMM Aether Quickdraw

The DMM Aether Quickdraw is engineered for sport or trad climbers who prioritize weight without compromising on safety. Featuring wire gates and an I-Beam construction, it maintains strength while shedding grams. Its contrasting carabiner colors allow for quick identification of bolt/gear and rope sides, ensuring durability and safety throughout their whole lifetime. A hyper efficient strength to weight ratio will make these draws the ones you reach for on every hard trad lead you do!

Details:

- Super-light quickdraw for minimum weight
Super-light carabiners are mounted on slim-line Dynatec to create quickdraws that minimise weight. These quickdraws are suitable for alpine climbing, trad onsighting, and any other scenario where minimum weight is desirable.

- Mounted on 11mm Dynatec to balance low weight and durability
Dynatec is strong and light, allowing thin and flexible slings to be used to connect carabiners. An 11mm diameter sling strikes a balance between minimal weight and durability, creating lightweight quickdraws that can withstand repeated use.

- Wire gate carabiners for maximum weight saving
Wire gates are the lightest gate type available, and are appropriate for trad, alpine and winter climbing, where minimal weight is desirable. They are less likely to freeze and clog with ice than solid gate biners, making them ideal for winter and alpine climbing.

- Fully clean nose for extra security
A secondary forging process creates a recess in the carabiner nose that houses the gate notch. This creates a smooth inner profile that prevents snagging on gear, ropes and slings. It also means the nose of the carabiner is wider than the gate, guarding against accidental gate opening caused by rubbing on rock.

- I-Beam construction for optimum strength to weight ratio
I-Beam construction techniques allow carabiners to be lighter without compromising strength. This is achieved through hot forging, a process which allows metal to be made into complex shapes that improve functionality.

- Contrasting carabiner colours identify rope and gear ends of quickdraw
Contact with wires and bolts can mark a carabiner with sharp edges that might be harmful to ropes. The carabiners on our quickdraws are differentiated by colour, allowing you to consistently use the same end for either protection or ropes.
