3. Let's start coiling the other half close to it's center. By coiling two strands at a time, time and effort is halved. Exactly where you start is not important. Coil until near the end...

4. Coil until you are about 5 feet away from the other half, then finish the coil off...

... leaving about 6" between halves. The rope can be carried comfortably around the neck.

OK, its a little goofy. But it works. One of the keys is that both ends are tied off with the strand going to the other coil.

On those numerous short rappels: A. uncoil one side; B. poke end through rap ring; C. pull rope through until it reaches the ground (you should use less than half the uncoiled rope); D. grasp the rope firmly at the anchor; E. toss the still coiled coil past the pothole to the dry rocks beyond.

Give it a try, maybe it will work for you, too.
