This glitch allows you to place a rope that will stay there when you choose to retry the level, essentially giving you a free placed rope.
Normally the game respawns or despawns all objects used during the course of the level if you choose to retry it, but it has a strange problem with a rope that's in the middle of the throwing animation. If you pause the game to retry just as the rope is about to connect with the ceiling (or it has left the screen), it stays in place and will oftentimes actually form once you spawn back into the level.
This is only useful (as far as I can tell) in trying to escape 2-2 for time attack, but it's a relatively easy trick to perform once you get the timing down.
