ASM at Climb Fit: How to clip quickdraws

There’s different ways to clip a quickdraw and in this video Maria runs through a few of them. It all depends on which way the quickdraw is facing and also what hand you have available to clip your rope through the draw. Getting comfortable with this will mean that you will be more relaxed at the crucial times on the wall. Try at home: Practice both the PINCH and THUMB techniques, with the quickdraw facing both directions and try it with each hand. Good luck!
