While trolling through some rock climbing videos on YouTube, I came across this little jewel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CiJGTDcbJI&feature=quicklist
This is certainly a quicker method of coiling rope, but it doesn't look any better than the way I have always done it.
Over the years, I have come across about as many ways of coiling and tying off a coil as I have hired climbers. Perhaps some of you know the best way of coiling and tying off? Be sure to explain WHY your method is better!
[Personally, I have my favorite methods, but I gave up and went to using a rope bag.]

(pretty close to my preferred method)
