How to Coil a Rock Climbing Rope

There are many ways to coil rock climbing ropes. Here are two popular ways to do it:
(Rope Bag .......... 0:04)
Single and double butterfly coils, which can be finished in a rope backpack .......... 1:08
Mountaineer's coil .......... 8:42

Although "Rock Climb" will have more than 100 videos (7 hours+ of content), the program is designed to include maximum information in a concise way that is easy to understand and assimilate. For that reason most chapters are built on the knowledge acquired in previous ones (e.g., Rope Basics → Top-Roping → Lead Climbing → Sport Climbing → Trad. Climbing).

Rock climbing is fun but there is an element of risk. In some situations if you are not careful, the chances of serious injury or death are very real. A safety oriented mindset is essential.
The right attitude includes not thinking that just by watching videos and reading articles you will become a safe and experienced climber. Experience comes with practice. Practice means making occasional mistakes and learning from them.
We believe qualified in-person training should be the main way of learning and progressing in rock climbing. A good mentor, guide or teacher will make learning as safe as it can be, by assessing your level and every situation.
Our videos are meant to inform and entertain. Although our videos can be very helpful, they are not meant to replace in-person teaching by a qualified professional, nor they are meant to replace reading and understanding the instructions and manuals of rock climbing equipment-which we strongly advise you to do. (Manufacturers recommendations occasionally change, and it is a good idea to stay updated by visiting their websites.)
Have fun and be safe out there!

You are the Bob Ross of climbing

Thank you so much for showing how to undo these. I have seen a ton of videos showing how to make them but anytime I used them I ended up with a tangled mess when it was time to undo it and climb.

Thanks for the video, really nice method on the Butterfly coil. Making the Mountaineer's coil in this way, with all the loops in the same direction, tends to introduce a twist into the rope. Maybe no big deal for a short bit of cord for making anchors, but very apparent in e.g. extension cords and garden hoses that are stored this way for an extended period. The solution is to make alternating wraps in opposite directions, then the twists cancel one another out and the loops sit nicely.

What rope do you use for that 50 ft top rope anchor? Some static line?
