Wait a second! A leader does not fall on a tiblock. The rope goes around a carabiner provided that it's clipped on a correct side of it.

I did some backpacking in Brooks Range, long time ago. It's a great country for backpacking: fairly dry firm tundra, no bushes, can go anywhere - no trails needed. We did it without a bush plane: drove to Attigan Pass, parked our vehicle on the side of the road and went backpacking for a week.
