Hi,

One side of the quickdraw is fixed and the other side is flexible.

Am I right in thinking you clip the fixed side directly onto the bolt on a sport route so the rope would then clip to the flexible side?

Or have I got this all wrong?

In reply to Pdouglas: T'other way round. The fixed bit is to stabilise the karabiner while you clip the rope.

Can I draw your attention to the backclipping bit, please read so as you clip the rope in correctly, the consequences of getting it wrong could be substantial.
