Wrap several turns of twine around the loop to

bind it to the rope.

Whipping is the process of wrapping and seizing the end of
a rope or line with strong, thin twine to prevent fraying. A

frayed end is difficult to use and eventually leads to loss of a
section of a typically expensive rope. When a rope is to be

cut, always take steps to prevent fraying before cutting.
Synthetic twine should be used on synthetic rope and
natural fiber twine on natural fiber ropes. The common

whipping is far from the most secure whipping, but it will
work until a dependable whipping, usually sewn, can be

acquired. Some twines stretch when wet, allowing the
whipping to slip off. Common whipping, therefore, requires

retying occasionally until replaced. Campers and climbers
may need to use whipping to prevent a cut rope from

fraying.
