Tickets
Welcome back to Rope for Nerds — the workshop series for rope brains who want to really understand what’s going on under the hood.
This session is all about refinement: the often-overlooked micro-skills and subtle mechanics that elevate your rope from “functional” to “flawlessly intentional.” Whether you’re chasing the mythical perfect single-column tie or endlessly fiddling with your tension to no avail, this workshop compiles years of niche knowledge into a concentrated toolkit you didn’t know you needed—until now.
We’ll break down the biomechanics of tying
- How to control tension consistently
- How rope behaves under load and movement
- What actually makes a single-column tie “good,” and how to identify weak links
- How to reduce drag, increase flow, and move like your future self
And then—debugging
Because let’s be honest: ties don’t always go as planned. Ceci will introduce a practical Rope Debugging Checklist — a system for analyzing and troubleshooting your rope in real time. Bring your toughest knots, recurring frustrations, and messy half-solutions. You’ll get hands-on help in problem-solving real-world issues, and leave with better strategies for working through technical glitches on your own.
Expect lots of tinkering, a healthy dose of analysis, and plenty of “ah-ha!” moments. Rope as craft. Rope as puzzle. Rope as precision instrument. Let’s get into it.
Ideal For
- Technically-minded riggers, bottoms, and switches
- The nerdiest of the nerds
- Beginners, the people who think they already know it all, and the people who got over that phase and know they still have years to learn
- Anyone who loves diagrams, efficiency, or the phrase “root cause analysis”

More Information
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.
Friends describe people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender-straight privileges.
Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
After your successful ticket purchase, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. If you do not receive it, message us with your order number so we can send it again. Some email services “disappear” our messages so please check if you received our login data email.
If this session includes a recording you can obtain it by simply purchasing a ticket. You will automatically get access to the live class and the recording as they come in a package. The recording login data will be sent out 24–48h after the live event and will be available for (at least) 14 days after the live event. Please note these classes are places for experience, not for instruction. Nothing here is tested or graded — only perceived, felt, and shared. All offerings are invitations to reflect — no curriculum, no exam, no training. Recordings exist solely to support personal integration and are available only for a limited time.
Yes, because you are paying for the knowledge our facilitators distribute, not for the access to Zoom itself. We kindly ask you to respect that and pay accordingly.
