A rope jam is a gathering of rope enthusiasts for socializing, practice, and sometimes peer to peer learning. The format and activities of rope jams varies but is generally more casual and informal than a structured class setting. The host generally provides space and sometimes hard points and/or loaner rope.

Variations

Can be used interchangeably with rope social but is generally more reserved to be more focussed on tying compared to the social aspects.

In some cases the hosts can also facilitate a space for peer learning similar to what happens in a peer rope event and may facilitate study groups. However the level of involvement within a rope jam can really vary - from just someone providing a space for people to meet and do rope to a full social event.
