		<description>This is not a big issue.  Sure, it&#039;s not ideal, but in this situation there&#039;s no problem.

Assuming the open gated quickdraw is at the first bolt, as soon as the climber has clipped at the second draw, the safety issue of the first biner is greatly lessened.  In the picture, where the climber is, the first draw is providing no safety and is only adding friction to the system.

This happens all the time, you climb, you clip a draw, you climb, friction of the rope grabs biner, pulls it into a place you didn&#039;t intend.  Maybe if she had used longer dogbones on her quickdraws this would have eliminated the problem.  maybe if she&#039;d clipped the draw to the bolt the other way, but then you&#039;d be complaining about the spine of the biner being against the edge of the rock.

Whatever happened, it wasn&#039;t that the climber left the gate on her biner open, the biner flipped around and up on the rock, pressing the gate against the rock, causing the gate to open.  This happened well after she passed the second bolt, so as long as the bolts are good, there is no issue here.</description>

		<description>Thank you for this David. I so enjoy these kinds of visual memories... I think it may be time to add some selected ones to my blog as well. They capture the ephemeral, and as you so wonderfully muse, they invite us to see the wild places through different eyes and timings...

		<description>In the Uk we prefer it if people do not build new cairns as they can confuse walkers....and definitely do not remove them.  They are important way markers and are often referred to in books of walks. 
Andy Goldsworthy, UK artist  has built some interesting artistic cairns if any one is interested.</description>
