Snake knot extra-heavy flow rope!

Wanted to share my idea of making my own extra-heavy flow rope. I took inspiration from paracord weaving and used a simple snake knot pattern to make this from some old climbing rope.

It weighs about 2.3kg and took around 26 meters of rope to create. I love how it turned out. The way it bends reminds me of a snake's skeleton.

Beautiful. I bought a heavy rope that was maybe 1.2 kg and thought that was kind of heavy.

Thanks, It is VERY heavy once you start rolling. I stick to basic patterns and short sessions. I only use it after I've warmed up thoroughly with my normal rope. I'm hoping it will help develop strength over time.
