| Fold the loop with the knot at the end. The hard bit is judging the length to fold.
As a rule take the third of rope at the knot end and fold that third in half. |
Start winding the rest of the loop back around the folded section away from the knot. | Continue winding making sure the wrapped cord is tight (if it's loose it will easily unravel) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Keep winding until there is a short length of loop left to wind.
The original folded section now forms a small double loop ... |
Thread the loose end through the double loop and tighten everything up.
The photo is exaggerated. The double loop and loose end should be as short as practical. |
The finished loop can be hung (with more of the same) on a snap link carabiner.
Lengths of loops will vary according to use. Short ones for abseil backup, long ones for use ascending ropes. |
