Either it is rock or ice climbing Quickdraw is a very important piece of equipment to perform it properly. Extenders also called quickdraws are your connection of the rope with the protection while you lead the climb.
Quickdraw is made from two carabiners connected with a semi-rigid material. Each of the two carabiners has its own purpose, one is called straight-gate carabiner and one bent-gate carabiner.
