With our geometry selected then, let's jump into edges of object mode. Select one of the edges in the downward spiral that we have already created and then press the alt and L keys in order to select the loop, which of course takes us all the way down to the bottom of the object. Now, of course, our mesh terminates in a bit of a rough way here.
