The Industry Benchmark for Sport Climbing Performance

The Petzl Spirit Express 12cm is widely considered the gold standard for sport climbers and those working difficult projects. This quickdraw is engineered for maximum ease of use, featuring two Spirit carabiners that are optimized for both the bolt and rope ends. The straight-gate top carabiner is textured for a superior grip when clipping hangers, while the bent-gate bottom carabiner is designed to help the rope "seat" perfectly during fast, high-stakes clips. Both carabiners utilize Petzl’s Keylock system, which eliminates the snagging notch at the nose, ensuring effortless cleaning and unclipping even on steep terrain.

The draw is connected by a 12cm ergonomic EXPRESS sling, which is tapered in the middle to provide a comfortable, secure grip for "dogging" or grabbing when working through crux moves. At the rope end, the carabiner is held firmly in place by a STRING quickdraw sling protector, which prevents the carabiner from rotating and ensures it stays in the correct orientation for efficient clipping. Lightweight enough for multi-pitch alpine rock but durable enough for season after season of sport climbing abuse, the Spirit Express is a premium, versatile tool for every serious climber's rack.
