How to Tie a Kiwi Coil

How to Tie a Kiwi Coil

It’s Alaska mountaineering season here in the Wrangells, however, these mountains remain in their untouched, unclimbed condition, as all the climbers are sheltering in place. Lead Mountaineering Guide and Operations Manager Sarah is doing what she can (from the comfort of her living room) to keep her skills dialed so she’s ready when she’s able to climb again! Here’s her demonstration of how to tie a Kiwi coil, which is a way to carry the extra rope when mountaineering on a rope team. Enjoy!
