Quickdraws are used by rock climbers to attach their climbing rope to bolt anchors or other protection, while lead climbing. They allow the rope to run through freely.

A quickdraw consists of two carabiners connected by a pre-sewn loop of webbing. This webbing can be of any length, but is usually 5" to 12" in length. Quickdraws can be assembled from carabiners and slings, or are available pre-assembled from many manufacturers. Quickdraws are available with a wide variety to carabiner styles and sling lengths, to suit different applications and tastes. To see different types of carabiners available, see carabiner.

In the United States, quickdraws are often abbreviated to draws.
