Help how do i avoid getting marks on my neck when testing/attempting partial?

[Claymore7274]

I wanna try partial today, but i have about an hour and a half to do so, if i fail i'll get bruises and marks on my neck, i have tried putting a thin cloth under the rope but it doesn't really help.

EDIT: upon consideration, it's not enough time.

Agreed with your edit! I failed an attempt and ended up wearing a ridiculous combination of things to hide the mark - not really, just a black quarter zip, zipped all the way up + oversized sweater on top. Anyways, best of luck.

wear a scarf in the neck?

jackets zipped all the way, turtlenecks, and scarves are all a good ways to cover up, especially since it's a bit chilly this time of year
