UL quickdraw <$10

[Brett .]

If you are going UL to save weight for more climbing gear, or vice versa, here's a steal on UL quickdraws. Choose the 'Ace Ultralight Wires' for $4.95, these are 30 gram biners; then choose the free 4" spectra draw for an UL quickdraw less than $10.

Robert, that is the cheapest, but not the lighest. Replace the Nylon with Spectra to save another 30 grams or so, and still come in under $10.
That nylong option is definitely a great combination of lightness and low price though!

I have several of the CAMP Nanowire quickdraws and the specs aren't significantly different. I think you can get lighter… I was looking at these a while ago.

33 grams each
Main Axis 25kN
Gate Open 10kN
Minor Axis 8kN
Gate Clearance 27mm

So it's about the same as the Camp that I have… except 2x the cost, but not as heavy.

I wish I had seen these less expensive quickdraws. It would have saved me some money! My needs aren't that demanding.
