How to Coil a Climbing Rope Using a Mountaineer Coil

Video Transcript

"The first coil I'm going to show you is the Mountaineer Coil. This is the one that you use, you only use one end of the rope. To start it, you just take the end of the rope and you just kind of start coiling it. There are a couple of different variations in how you can do this. Some guys like to take it over their shoulder and just keep going around this way. This helps you keep a consistent size as you go, and you just continue like that. Some guys like to do like more like this type method and there's also a couple of other tricks. Like the floor method. You get down on the floor, and take the end of the rope, put it kind of between your shoes, and just wrap it around your body like so. Of course you may notice that each one of these ways makes a different sized coil. This one being the widest. So, depends on your preference as to method and to the size of coil that you might want."
