Happy to hear it! Thanks for watching. 😊
Just curious, maybe someone could shoot me a message with the answer if they've got it. Seems like it makes sense to save some money and just get alpine draws that are extendable and suit all sorts of routes from the alpine to single pitch stuff. Are alpine draws any less strong than dogbones? And what would the downsides be to using alpine draws for everything? Not as easy to clip into bolts and cams? Thanks!
Having the stiffer rope-end carabiner (by adding the rubber bit) makes clipping easier and faster. That could be the difference between a clip and a whip on a hard sport project. So in that instance using a standard draw would be a better option than an alpine draw. If you're on trad and need to spend time placing gear, then you would usually have enough energy in the bank to take the time to fiddle with extending the alpine draw when needed, or leaving it short when not, so you also would generally have the time to clip it without the stiff end.
Having said that, I've used alpine draws on sport routes plenty of times. No drama, just got to spend that extra moment making sure I really have captured the 'biner properly to get the clip. Sometimes I extend the draws on sport routes as well (I often carry a couple of alpines on a sport route, but use the standard draws unless extending).
I climbed for years with 6 sport draws and 6 alpine draws, both trad and sport. These days, when I try and push my sport grade a bit then I like having more of the sport draws with stiffer rope-ends, so I now have about a dozen of each type.
Good video! You could be use a bit more explanation! For edample why Wire gate reduce gate fluttering or that dyneema is stronger(good) but not flexible (not always good), and water resistant. And maybe some personal opinion about the gear you are reviewing, you will make yourself different and inspire more thrust maybe ;)
