**Climbing is inherently dangerous. This video is not a substitution for personal instruction with a professional instructor or a guide.**
So you just purchased your first rope and you are itching to get out to the crag to test it out. The last thing you want is a rope that tangles and knots up becuase it hasn’t been opened properly. When ropes are new, it is necessary to properly uncoil the rope before using it in a climbing session to help prevent tangles and to loosen twists. In this video, CMRCA Staff Member Jon Imong demonstrates how ri uncoil a brand new Sterling Rope at home. Follow the steps taken in the video to help ensure you hit the crag ready to go.
