The straight-gate Reaction carabiner-used on the bolt-end of the draw-has a small divot on the outside of the gate, which functions as a thumb catch would on any less-than-ideal hold on a route. The action on the Reaction (see what I did there?) carabiners is remarkably smooth and responsive. With the Reaction, Trango prioritizes the feel and handling of the quickdraw over saving tiny fractions of ounces with a thinner dogbone or a wire gate or anything else. The Reaction weighs about 4 ounces which means it is far from the lightest quickdraw around-but that’s not what it’s trying to be.
Lately, when I get to those harder parts, I’ve been reaching for the Trango Reaction Quickdraws. If I hop on a hard route, I tend to use my least favorite draws on the easy parts, saving my faves for what I expect to be the crux or sustained sections. I’ve got a hodgepodge collection of quickdraws: three from this brand, two from that four of this model, five salvaged from parts of old draws. Get access to everything we publish when you
