This is not named, starts right-hand side inside the cave which is left of Python, 4RB + anchor;DRB, but the DRB needs extender if you are setting top rope.
The bottom of 1st quick-draw opened and the rope came out of it as he went over the lip of the cave. I suddenly became the spotter from a belayer. better to use 2 quick-draws with opposite direction. We were lucky as he went on up this time.

Any idea how the 'draw opened ?
bangor, not bangor west
I watched what happened while belaying. Normally not so easy to unclip rope from QD at a crux. The climber this time was very skillful to use his berry during his struggle while passing the lip of the overhang, to unclip his rope from the wire gate of which the middle part was at the edge of the lip.
So we supposed to use a shorter QD to locate the lower biner above the edge. or a longer one to locate the biner below the edge. Its certainly good idea to use a shorter one as this is the 1st bolt.
i don't think its good idea to use shorter QD, because the struggling at the lip, then falls and swings damage the rope badly.
