In climbing, a topo (short for topology) is a graphical representation of a climbing route.Topos range from a photograph of the climb on which the line of the route is overlaid, to a detailed diagram of the key features and challenges of the climb, which are typically represented as standardized UIAA topo symbols.
Sport/competition climbing quickdraw with a "bent gate" at one end for easier clipping-in . Quickdraws are used by climbers to connect ropes to fixed points such as bolted anchors in sport climbing, or protection devices in traditional climbing. The quickdraw consists of two non-locking carabiners connected by a short, pre-sewn loop of webbing.
Quick, Draw! is an online guessing game developed and published by Google LLC that challenges players to draw a picture of an object or idea and then uses a neural network artificial intelligence to guess what the drawings represent. [2] [3] [4] The AI learns from each drawing, improving its ability to guess correctly in the future. [3]
Fast draw, also known as quick draw, is the ability to quickly draw a handgun and accurately fire it upon a target in the process. This skill was made popular by romanticized depictions of gunslingers in the Western genre , which in turn were inspired by famous historical gunfights in the American Old West .
QuickDraw was the 2D graphics library and associated application programming interface (API) which is a core part of classic Mac OS. It was initially written by Bill Atkinson and Andy Hertzfeld. [1] QuickDraw still existed as part of the libraries of Mac OS X, but had been largely superseded by the more modern Quartz graphics system.
In climbing, a Tyrolean traverse is a technique that enables climbers to cross a void between two fixed points, such as between a headland and a detached rock pillar (e.g. a sea stack), or between two points that enable the climbers to cross over an obstacle such as chasm or ravine, or over a fast moving river.

QuickDraw 3D, or QD3D for short, is a 3D graphics API developed by Apple Inc. (then Apple Computer, Inc.) starting in 1995, originally for their Macintosh computers, but delivered as a cross-platform system.
QuickDraw GX was a replacement for the QuickDraw (QD) 2D graphics engine and Printing Manager inside the classic Mac OS. [1] Its underlying drawing platform was an object oriented , resolution-independent, retained mode system, making it much easier for programmers to perform common tasks (compared to the original QuickDraw).
