Butterfly Coil


               Also known as: Backpack Coil, Backpacker’s Coil




               A climbing rope of 200 ft. (60 m) or more makes a bulky, heavy load to
               carry, and a time-consuming mess if tangled during transportation. The
               weight of the Butterfly Coil is carried on both shoulders like a backpack,
               and the coil is secured around the waist, which prevents it from swinging
               and catching while climbing. But unlike the Alpine Coil, it must be removed
               and undone before it can be attached to a climbing harness.
