Not exactly sure what your saying here; but suspect its the same as what I was going to say: when clipping a wire the direction of the top biner doesn't really matter as much, it usualy ends up facing in a fairly symetrical position, ... but it's more important to have the bottom biner orientated so that the gate faces away.

Hence I clip the top biner which ever way I need so the bottom biner faces away, if the pro/rope is orientated such that the bottom biner is going to hang with a definate orientation... IMHO

Suspect all my q-draws have the biners facing the same way, but not really sure..
