Quickdraw Petzl 25 cm Black PETZL C040CA02 — climbing quickdraw, sewn sling and carabiner set

The Quickdraw Petzl 25 cm Black is a sewn sling and carabiner set designed to connect protection points with the climbing rope. With a 25 cm sling length and a paired carabiner, this quickdraw is intended for sport and trad climbing where a reliable link between bolt or gear placements and the rope is required. The black color and compact dimensions make it suitable for use on single-pitch routes, gym lines and multi-pitch climbs where a moderate extension between protection points is beneficial.

Advantages

This quickdraw combines a durable sewn sling with a strong carabiner to provide a secure, low-profile connection between protection and rope. The 25 cm length offers a balance between minimizing rope drag and providing some separation from the rock to reduce wear on gear. The components are designed for climbing-specific loads and handling, enabling repeated clipping and unclipping during sport and trad climbs.

Suitable for

• Sport climbing on bolted routes
• Traditional climbing where sewn slings and carabiners are used
• Indoor gym routes and top-rope setups
• Short to moderate multi-pitch routes requiring moderate extension

When it may not be suitable

This quickdraw is not intended as personal protective equipment for activities outside climbing (for example industrial lifting or rescue work). For climbs requiring very long extensions or specific directional loading characteristics, other lengths or specialized quickdraws may be more appropriate. Always verify that the quickdraw’s strength ratings meet the requirements of your route and local regulations.

Key specifications

• Sling length: 25 cm
• Configuration: sewn sling with carabiner set
• Color: black
• Intended use: sport and trad climbing, indoor climbing

How to use

Clip the carabiner to the bolt hanger or protection placement and clip the climbing rope into the opposite carabiner so the gate faces away from the anticipated direction of load. Ensure the sewn sling lies flat and is not twisted before weighting. Inspect the carabiner gate action and the sling for damage before each use. Replace the quickdraw if any component shows signs of wear, deformation, sharp fraying, corrosion or compromised function.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 25 cm length matches your preferred separation between protection and rope to manage rope drag.
• Check compatibility of carabiner shape and gate type with your harness and other gear.
• Assess whether the quickdraw strength and construction are suitable for your climbing discipline.

Usage recommendations

Use this 25 cm quickdraw for standard sport and trad climbing where moderate extension helps reduce rope drag. Regularly inspect and retire the quickdraw if any damage appears; keep it out of extended exposure to sharp edges and corrosive environments to maintain performance and safety.
