Any particular reason you clip the HMS into the Figure8 and not the tie-in of your harness?

[@themountaineeringcompany]

I much prefer using the rope loop as it reduces wear on the belay loop and also ads an extra dynamic element into the system. That being said, the system would still work the same going into the belay (Harness) loop. Lots of methods for tying off chest coils. whichever method you use make sure its tested and works for you! :-)

If you are leading and your partner falls so that the rope is under tension, would it not be useful to have the potential to release coils without undoing the clove hitch. For example if your partner has taken a head injury and you have a convenient anchor point nearby. How about putting the loop of the overhand gate-side or not clipping it at all?

Hi Joe and thanks for the reply. The context of this video is for pitched climbing where your second is at a stance and belaying you. The method you describe would be moving together or in glacial terrain. It would then be better to use another method for tying off the coils.

I Think what you show is totally WRONG compair to simular Videos

[@themountaineeringcompany]

Numerous methods on how to tie and lock-off mountaineering coils, this is just one of the approved methods in the UK. If you are referring to this being different to the Kiwi Coils, Swiss coils or any other method then it's not the same.
