Lashings and coils
A lashing—square, diagonal, or round—is a means of binding two or
more crossed or adjacent poles with rope; the same principle is
applied to ladders, floors, and planks. A coil is the term used for rope
that has been wound into neat circles or loops, either ready for use
(the climber’s and alpine coils), or for storing (the figure-eight coil).
