Imagine, if you will, a horizontal crack that looks perfect for placing protection. But oh no, you're (somehow) out of gear and (somehow) all you've got left is a quickdraw. You place the top crab of your draw in, and slide it to the left a bit and hey, it's seated awesomely. Any other bit of gear in this posistion would be amazing. You clip in. Climb a bit higher and a monkey runs at you. Only choice is to punch it or fall. Now, will this quickdraw protection hold?
