Another rap option is to tie a bite in each rope end and then clip them to your harness. The knots go down with you instead of into the trees or, if you are in a place like Black Velvet Canyon instead of into a crack, or if in a place like the Thaiwand Wall on Railay Beach in Thailand, off into the wind at dusk. This allows you to "close the system" and keep control of the rope without time consuming and often cluster f stacking.
