The Shadow has I-Beam construction. It has a clean nose closure to reduce snagging when you are clipping or unclipping. There is also a handy thumb grip on the gate for easier operation. The normal Shadow Quickdraw pairs the Shadow up with the Shadow Bent Gate – this is the best option for the majority of single pitch sport routes. However, there is a lightweight alternative designed for multi pitch sport routes, where saving weight is an issue. The Shadow/Spectre 2 Quickdraw has a Shadow at the bolt clipping end of the quickdraw and the lightweight Spectre 2 at the rope clipping end.

The bent gate version of the classic sport climbing biner, the Shadow, normally forms the rope clipping end of the quickdraw. We knew the clipping action had to be good so we made sure the curve of the gate was just right, allowing the rope to be pressed into the biner with the minimum of fuss. The inside of the biner also has a deep basket to ensure that the rope is guided towards the spine for added safety. The Shadow is completely anodised to help combat corrosion and prolong life in hot, damp or salty environments.

DMM have made some subtle, but important changes from the original Spectre. For example it has a safer, deeper ‘rope basket’ – that being the techy term for the crook of the biner in which the rope sits during a fall. The design works better with modern skinny Dyneema. This means that the quickdraw tape sits in a neat and correctly aligned position. One final thing, the Spectre 2 is only 32g – that’ll be 3g lighter than the original Spectre. After all, every little bit counts in the weight saving game.
