Forrest Mountaineering Rabbit Runners

Bill Forrest would often include a list titled “Forrest Firsts” in his catalogs. His list of innovations and new products is impressive even today. In 1976 he listed “Rabbit Runner – First runner with end loops” as a notable achievement for that year.

From the 1983 Forrest Mountaineering catalog:

Quick Draw Rabbit Runner

The quick-draw concept allows the Rabbit to be used as either a continuous loop or a double length runner. Quick-Draws are made of one inch tubular nylon web with a three and a half inch loop sewn in each end. You need not remove them over your head; simply un-clip one end and pull the carabiner. They don’t get tangled, so you save time.
