Vertical caving terminology and methods > Knots > Knot construction and behaviour
A way of laying a rope into a bag, onto the ground, or onto a large sheet so that it pays out (feeds out) cleanly while pulling just one end. A basic flake is usually done while climbing, but may also be used while belaying. Not the same thing as a natural rock flake.
