Kong Panic System 45cm Quickdraw – Reach Farther, Climb Smarter ‍♀️

Precision and Safety Combined in One Innovative Climbing Tool

The Kong Panic System is a must-have for sport climbers, route explorers, and anyone who regularly encounters tricky, distant bolts. Designed and manufactured entirely in Italy by Kong S.p.A., this 45cm version brings you an extended reach without compromising safety, thanks to its auto-closing carabiner and semi-rigid webbing that stays exactly where you want it.

Whether you’re onsighting a new route, projecting a tough lead, or exploring unbolted terrain, the Panic system gives you an edge. With intuitive design and bombproof construction, you can extend your limits without second-guessing your gear. ⛰️

What Makes the Kong Panic Quickdraw Stand Out?

⚙️ How Does the Kong Panic System Work?

The beauty of the Panic lies in its mechanical gate-holding system. The carabiner’s gate stays open as you reach for that far-off bolt. As soon as the connector contacts the bolt hanger, the mechanism automatically releases and snaps the gate shut—clipping securely and swiftly. This eliminates the fumble and fear factor when clipping above your head.

The semi-rigid webbing can be straight or slightly bent, giving climbers excellent control and precision. The flexible bar inside helps maintain shape during those crucial moments of positioning, while the outer tubular layer provides durability.

Common Questions Answered

Is the Kong Panic System safe to use during lead climbing?

Yes! The Panic is engineered with safety in mind. The locking mechanism prevents the gate from accidentally opening under load, and the automatic closure ensures secure clipping. Always verify that the gate has closed before moving on. ️✅

Can I use this for trad or alpine climbing?

While primarily designed for sport climbing, the Panic can be useful in certain trad or mixed routes where bolts are spaced awkwardly. However, due to its length and rigidity, it’s not ideal for all trad placements or delicate alpine terrain. ️

What’s the benefit of the 45cm version?

The XL 45cm version gives you extra reach, ideal for high bolts or technical moves where precise clipping is necessary. It helps reduce risk and fatigue when stretching for protection.

Will this work with all types of bolts?

Yes, the Panic is compatible with standard bolt hangers. Just ensure that your clipping motion aligns the gate properly, allowing the contact trigger to function correctly. ⚙️
