Climbers - Do you need to clip a “project” quick draw that’s already on a bolt?
Provided you have a stick or something similar that can reach the bolt, and you know how to tie this crafty double slipknot, it’s easy to do.
1 - Tie a double loop slipknot.
2 - Put one of the two loops into a stick, trekking pole, or something similar, and tighten that loop down.
3 - Push the stick up, and carefully slide the other open loop around the bottom carabiner of your quick draw.
4 - Pull on the strand of rope going to the loop around the quick draw.
5 - That slipknot will close and snap into the carabiner. Schweeeeeeet, you’re clipped.
6 - Pull down on the stick, and pull on the other strand of rope. This should release the other half of the slipknot. If you did it right, voilà your rope is now in the draw.
Give yourself a high-five. 😀
