@GrassRocketFilms

What are you talking about? That was hilarious! It only seemed pompous to you because you don't understand his humour.

[GrassRocketFilms]

Now that you have that down maybe start working on your people skills. No one likes a pompous delivery.

@GrassRocketFilms This might come as a surprise but I couldn't give a red rats ass what you think about my presentation. I really don't like people all that much that I am going to change anything.

Mike,

You are das man, you should start endorsing (make money) climbing products, as I would be likley to buy them

Gracious !

[rainmechanic]

How do you coil a rope so that the coil can be thrown without tangling up?

What is that called?

[mikebarter387]

@rainmechanic Lap coiling, actually have a video coming out on that in a couple days.

[joelrobertandersen]

[alaskagreen]

mikes the man ive seen alot of his vids and they are really useful

[iolairjames]

great vid keep it up/ perhaps a vid on washing a rope

[peanutmachiela]

great vids lots of techincal knowledge i was wondering is there a place to purchase a dvd with all these tips and dv you have a clip here on you tube with a slow motion or a step by step like the butterfly for the mckay style thanks once again great vids

[jaffriali]

Mike is the man, he takes the time to make these videos and teach others for free, I dont know too many people who would do that these days.

[aurelrica]

true that, i've learned it the hard way...lol

[ja1484]

Well, it's all about what you want to achieve. I like a butterfly because it easily turns into a backpack if I want to carry my rope sans ropebag (i.e. multi-pitch route where the descent/retreat differs from the start/approach).

Generally, if I'll be returning to the start of the route upon finish (i.e. rapping the line) I'll just leave ropebag/whatever else at the base of the route, provided I trust whoever else is milling around the crag.

But you're right - It does look far cooler this way.

[simongeering]

two handed butterfly over sholders is faster

[Cobra0911]

@simongeering It might be but, like he said, its still not as cool
