The Inferno II is a full-size quickdraw with two Inferno II carabiners joined by a 14 mm double-layered Monster Sling that provides extra durability to the lightweight (90 grams) quickdraw. Our first impressions of this draw were very positive. With good action on the wire gate and a narrow dog-bone that actually felt easy to grab, we were excited to give this draw a field test!
During our four week field test, we found that this draw was easy to use and felt natural when climbing. The only real drawback from this draw is that the wiregates rely on the traditional notch to open and close. It was clear that Metolius had gone to great lengths to reduce the size of this notch but it still got in the way when cleaning the draws off your everyday sport bolt.
Overall, the Metolius Inferno II is one of the best narrow width dog bone draws on the market. Without a doubt, its stand out feature is its narrow, double layered dogbone that actually feels good to grab and its overall lightweight at 90 grams. The Inferno is a must for anyone trying to cut weight with a streamlined design with great functionality and a natural feel.
