Coiling Rope

A common struggle for a climber is the best way to coil up a rope after usage. Requirements:

  • Can be reliably executed in dark conditions
  • Creates a stable coil that won’t get messy
  • Will not get tangled when the rope is deployed
  • Does not cause the rope to get twisted

JRB prefers a variant of the Butterfly coil. See video:
