- 1). Set up your quickdraw so that the top carabiner is facing you and the bottom carabiner is facing away from you. The gates should face in opposite directions.
- 2). Unclip the quickdraw from your harness or gear sling and clip the bolt with the top carabiner gate facing you - and the bottom carabiner still facing away from you.
- 3). Grab your rope below the tie-in knot with your thumb pointing downward.
- 4). Pull the rope up to the bottom carabiner on the quickdraw and release your index finger and thumb while continuing to hold the rope with your pinky, ring and middle fingers.
- 5). Hold the carabiner down with your thumb and flip the rope into the carabiner, pushing it through the carabiner gate with your index finger.
- 6). When you clip the rope, it should travel from your harness to the outside of the carabiner through the carabiner to the rock side of the carabiner and down to the ground.
