Rock climbing multi-pitch rope management with Zack Mintz
Zack Mintz shows how to manage rope coils in a multi-pitch environment.
By keeping the rope near the anchor and away from the climber, it keeps the belay loop area free making the lead belay easier.

Thanks for commenting!
I noticed that your climber clove hitched using the one hand method with the break side of the rope, specifically he grabbed the rope between the belay device and the breaking hand. Is that potentially dangerous? What would happen if he falls after clipping the first part of the clove hitch?

@TheKevinFanClub526 You actually should do it that way. If you use the load strand and do the clove on the carabiner, and slip, it turns the plaqutte device into an LSD lower with no back up!
With equal length, short coils - how often do you get snags and are they easy to spot and manage as you belay?

Typically will go long to short or short to long depending on who is leading the next pitch. They only need to be about 3 or 4 cm shorter to not catch the other loops.
never take your hand off the brake like that
