Get yourself a few extendable with keygates to not snag when you try to extend, then a bunch of big wire gates with long dyneema slings loose around one side (Chimeras are a great option) to minimize bulk and simple to extend placements if needed since you’ll likely coordinate carabiners with active pro colors.
The rubber keepers in the DMM Spectre 2 creep round to the gate and need to be straightened out all the time. I assume this is due to the cross-section of the carabiner. I wounder if it's the same with the Chimera.
Agne is probably the worst carabiner i've ever clipped. For me, nothing beats CAMP photon wire with any 60 cm sling for an alpine draw. They are light, regular size and cheap. And of you care about keyless nose, use CAMP dyon. A bit more expensive though
Photons absolutely for opening size, clipping action, weight, and everything else. Dyons are neat but feel unnecessary when the key gate Photons are also amazing.
I've never disliked a epictv video in my life, and I definitely don't dislike UA-cam videos unless I feel they disbenefit the community that follows them. However, other than the chimera both the mission and the angle are designed for sport climbing and don't benefit trad climbing at all. You can even see in Matt's face that he doesn't believe in what he's saying about these draws, I honestly feel the trad climbing community would be better off without this video.
are these really your TOP 3 quickdraws of 2022??? This whole video feels very much disingenuous despite you saying it's not sponsored. Solid gate eliminates flutter, huh? Didn't hear that one before. Also Angle, seriously? I climbed with this one before and it felt absolutely abysmal. The gate feels soooo bad when cliping into anything. I don't know what maniac thought it was a good design. And what is this bullshit about dogbone being ergonomic and easy to grab?? why does this matter? When is ergonomic dogbone shape ever a feature?? All in all very disapointing video
For sport, the ergonomic dogbones is definitely a feature, though will say the shaped dogbones are not any comfier, and I would rather thicker to better wrap my hand around. As well, hate the Anges, have several from bail gear and I only use them for slinging weights in the gym. Small actual opening and the pin gate has several instances of sticking closed or open since the single gate point is less stable.
3:20 Solid gate eliminate gate flutter??? I thought wire gate is to eliminate gate flutter , as they have less mass.
Yeah i was thinking the same. (i think they said it by mistake)
agreed. Looks like a mistake in the script.
A clear mistake, makes you wonder how Matt didn't notice while he was saying it
Further to that, gate flutter is really not a big thing for most climbers in my experience an opinion. Debateable if it was with past technologies.
@@chaosengine4597 yeah rope is already on tension downwards. It might lose some strengt when gate opens but should be fine.
Rather than buying an alpine style draw I will typically just buy a dynema sling and two camp nano 22 biners
Ten times out of ten.

I like my Petzls. Solid dogbone, overall light weight. But it needs a bit of practise to get used to, I do admit.
Can you address the rumors of clipping sport draws together to extend them? Love the channel
