I generally leave the carabiner hanging on the sling attached to the cam. So it pretty much serves no purpose when i use my trad draws. However, sometimes i take it and combine it with either the gear end or the rope end of the trad draw to make an opposite and opposed set of biners if i am worried about the gate opening (by rubbing on rock or other reasons). I also sometimes take the extra biner and keep it with me incase its a really long pitch and i need to improvise to make more draws or use it on the anchor. It depends on the situation but most of the time they serve only for racking purposes. `Matt Edit: I agree that you should not have all your wires on one biner. It would be a mess if you drop the 'biner and its also more cluttered. It makes for faster placements if you can reach down and grab the biner with 1 size range (say - small, medium, large) then match the stopper to the crack.
