After clipping the bolt below the roof and then continuing the route, the rope rubs against an edge that is sharp. How would I extend this quickdraw placement so there would be both less rope drag and this sharp edge would not be a factor. I'm planning on using a runner, but I'm not quite sure how one would set that up. Would it be: quickdraw into a bolt, runner into the quickdraw, then another quickdraw? Is there an easier way to do this that does not require two quickdraws? Also is this a safe way of handling the situation or is there a better way to go about it? Finally, could accessory cord, say a prussik loop be used in place of a runner? Or would that be a bad idea? What the hell, your leading something with a roof but you don’t know how to make a draw with a sling? Anyway you get a four foot sling, clip two biners to it. Clip one biner to the bolt, the other to the rope. That’s it. Think of it as a super quickdraw... Search the term "trad draw" and you will learn much Obi-Wan. Why would he need a trad draw? Dude is sport climbing. I'd go with a runner.
Trad draw, runner, whatever they are interchangeable terms. A two or four foot trad draw is a runner that has been collapsed to 1/3rd its size to be used as either a quickdraw or extended into a runner. So using other terminology, he needs a "runner" with two biners on it. He can throw it over his shoulder or colapse it into a trad draw and extend it when he clips it to the bolt. Either way, its the same thing.
