What happens here

After cutting and melting the second rope end, attach the second 3/8-inch rope clamp to create a loop, similar to the first end. Feed both sides of the rope through the clamp and use pliers to secure it tightly. This loop should be positioned near the second-to-last rung when the ladder is fully retracted. This allows the excess rope to be neatly tucked away and keeps the ladder rope from hanging loose, improving safety and aesthetics.

Goal: Secure the second end of the rope with a clamp to form a loop.
