Bull, Jim...you tuck the loosed end of the cord under you harness and it will not catch on anything. All the boats I dive with have "real" ladders, some have "Christmas Tree" ladders and the rest have 5-6 run angled ladders. There is only one boat that I would have trouble climbing out of with doubles...and they don't run tech trips so it's moot.
