Im sure rope bags are very good for people who are very bad at organization.
If I ever do a wall, maybe I will find out.

Return To Hell
He plays a horn
A magical tune
Making a snake entranced
The snake rises up
And out of a basket
Performs an eerie dance
Dancing together
The horn and the snake
Enchanting
Frightful sound
A mating call under a spell
Snake rising from the ground
Entwined with the horn
Snake continues to rise
Looking around the crowd
Snake sees a woman
To hate and despise
Man plays the horn loud
The tempo is faster
Snake seems to jump
Promising a life of charm
With a grin and a laugh
Snake looks in her eyes
"Come, there will be no harm"
The woman is helpless
And follows the snake
Soon becoming entwined
Snake raises its head
And opens its mouth
"Now your soul is mine"
While wrapping around
Snake tightens its grip
Soon to be well fed
The helpless victim
Wrapped up tight
Another soul is dead
Man with the horn
The one in control
Snake under his spell
Mission accomplished
Victim selected
They return to hell

Walls are at times a self imposed hell. Devil is in the details.

Or you could short-fix and block lead instead, which instantly reduces rope management issues by >50%.
Pptht! Ropes, rope bags, smope, just free solo (and ropeless aid) and be done with all that.
