Things You'll Need:
- Climbing Gear
- Climbing Harnesses
- Climbing Helmets
- Climbing Ropes
- Climbing Shoes
-
Step 1
Remove the climbing hardware from the rock and clip it to your harness or gear sling when using quickdraw-equipped gear. Don't detach the gear from the quickdraw, just detach it from the rock and clip it to you.
-
Step 2
Unclip the quickdraw from the rope with the gear clipped to you. This way the gear is always clipped to either you or the rope.
-
Step 3
Remove the piece of protection from the rock or unclip the carabiner from the fixed bolt or piton.
-
Step 4
Let the whole quickdraw/protection or lone quickdraw setup dangle from the rope in front of your tie-in knot.
-
Step 5
Grab the carabiner that is not attached to the rope and clip that carabiner to a gear loop on your harness or to your equipment sling.
-
Step 6
The gear is now connected at both ends, and you cannot drop it, so unclip the carabiner attached to the rope. The piece of "pro" and/or the quickdraw will now dangle out of the way along with the rest of your climbing hardware.
