Vertical caving terminology and methods > SRT basic terms
A mess of SRT gear, particularly cows tails, tethers or footloops, created when trying to perform manoeuvres. This is most common at Y-hangs and rebelays, where a tether may have been looped around behind the down rope while trying to use the up rope, or vice versa.
A mess of rope caused by it uncoiling badly from a tackle bag, if it has not been properly packed. This can result in it turning into a tangle, and require a mid-rope changeover to avoid getting hung up.
An earthly manifestation of His Holiness The Flying Spaghetti Monster. May His noodly appendages touch us all. But perhaps not while we are passing rebelays. Ramen.
