MARKING ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS
Make a mark at the intersection of an S and a Z strand at Mark 2. This will be the entry point for all 6 strands and the tail when it is buried. The entry point should be on the side of the rope facing the opposite leg of the eye.
From the entry point, count 2 picks down the rope and mark 6 strands around the circumference of the rope. There will be 3 S strands and 3 Z strands marked. At each intersection of an S and a Z strand, mark an exit point. There will be 6 exit points marked.
ROUTING 3 STRANDS
The rst 3 strands are now routed from the entry point at Mark 2 to the exit point. Each strand is routed separately, entering at the entry point and exiting at its own exit point. Do not pull the strands up tight yet. Leave slack at the entry point.

ROUTING LAST 3 STRANDS
The 3 remaining strands are now routed from the entry point at Mark 2 to the exit point. Each strand is routed separately, entering at the entry point and exiting at its own exit point. Do not pull the strands tight yet. Leave slack at the entry point.
Now that all 6 strands are routed and the tail is buried, pull each of the strands to remove any slack. Make sure the rope is smooth and tight at the entry point.
