Built to provide essential protection on ice, alpine and trad routes that demand a light and fast style, the Black Diamond MiniWire Alpine Quickdraw is a multi-functional biner-and-runner combo that is usable either in standard quickdraw configuration or fully extended. Featuring two new MiniWire carabiners, which are the lightest, fully-functional carabiner in the Black Diamond line-up and a 60 cm (ie. Shoulder length) 8mm tubular 100% Dynex runner that's light, abrasion-resistant and absorbs less water than nylon, the MiniWire is ideal for mountain missions when light is right.
