In reply to UKC Articles: A sloppy demonstration, misinformation about amount of tail needed resulting in too much tail....
Much easier and less tiring if you actually leave your hand by your side, as she says but then does not do, when coiling.
The loops around the rope to finish were too low and loose, result a sloppy rope after a short period of walking.
A reef knot or even a bow to finish will allow you to adjust the snugness of your rope backpack so it fits well.
When you come to use a double coiled rope, in this fashion, if you reverse the finishing process and lay the rope down open, ie in a straight line where the section that was around your neck is the middle of the line and the loop ends are the ends of the line, the rope will always coil out without knots, no need to recoil.
I would not be so critical of someone at the crag or a friend for that matter but this is supposed to be an instructional video....
