How to shorten alpine slings into an alpine quickdraw?
Alpine slings are usually 60cm long and while they can be slung over one shoulder, it's much easier to carry them on your harness at 1/3 of the size in an alpine quickdraw.
How would one shorten them up into an alpine quickdraw?

The simple way is to pass one of the carabiners through the other,
then clip that carabiner to the slings on the other side.
Finally, you pull both carabiners tight to dress the whole thing.
To undo , you unclip any two of the strands from one carabiner and pull. This can be useful because you can reach up, clip in with one carabiner, undo two strands from the second and then pull and the sling will be ready to go.
