so my climbing buddy and i were putting in some practice yesterday, as he hasnt had a great deal of experience placing pro and leading so we went to a local cliff which is fairly straight forward.
he led about 10 to 15m , placing some cams and nuts before making a belay and i followed up checking his placements (which were all good!)
anyways, i had to carry some 50m of excess rope, (which i looped up and hung of my harness using a quickdraw.)
what is your preffered method for carrying such excessive amounts of rope when and if the need arises? do you go alpine style and loop it around the shoulder and hip or ??
