I was just wondering how everyone coils there rope? If your like me I have rope bags for a couple, but I have more than two ropes, so I usually end up coiling at least one of the ropes. Back when I rappelled alot, I would use a mountaineers coil, so it would fit over my pack. Now I mostly climb and I like the butterfly coil, even if I have my pack on. I sling it over my pack and rap it. So, for me, I favor the butterfly coil. If anyone needs info on this coil, I will gladly explain the process.

"butterfly coil" aka "backpack coil"
that's pretty much the only one i use. i'm so cheap i don't even have a rope bag, just a rope tarp that i got from somebody else who didn't want it anymore. (heh)

 Yea, thats what I usually use, it all depends on which rope I take.

I hate coiling rope. My rope is fairly new so it always wants to twist while coiling it. I usually just stuff it in my pack, comes out nice and clean.

Learn the butterfly coil, it is the easiest way to keep your rope managable.

I use a Metolius rope bag. Has a tarp built into it along with backpack like straps to carry it. Very handy.

yeah, that looks really nice, and you know what's sad?...
...i'm going to try and get one of those when i have some money. it's basically just $30-40 or something like that and it's a luxury item for me... such is the life of a working student with house payments  |

Chilli, There are several rope bags available daily on www.allclimbinggear.com. Most are going for under 20.00.

it looks like it's sort of an offshoot of ebay. thanks for the tip, mike. maybe my dream of having a bag can come true.
