The DOUBLED hitch, tied by ,:,;,: taking a second exactly parallel turn with a longer end, is an IMPROVE- MENT and a good absorbant for a shock load such as a fall on the safety line. See description and Fig. 37. With or without a carabiner. the DOUBLED tie can also serve as a “STOPPER” in the end of a line that might escape-for instance, a low- ering line, al. ascending line, a rappel line, etc. It is even more efficient if a ring or washer is placed ahead of it. FRONT COVER ADJUSTABLE BOWLINE STIRRUP: This is the Standard Bowline tied with two ends leaving a bighted end for suitable hitch attachments such as the Prusik, Ring, Catspaw, etc. Length can be varied to suit the climber’s height, the loops adjusted singly or together, and when advis- able, the dangling ends may be square-knotted around the ankle to hold the foot well into the stirrup.

If you don't tie knots in rope very often then it might be difficult to remember which knot to use, and how to tie it properly, when you need to tie two ends of rope together securely. Therefore, it's a good idea to learn one or two good bends which you can remember easily, and my preferences are the Fisherman's Knot and the Alpine Butterfly Bend, although I'm trying out the Double Harness Bend more and more lately (which can easily be turned into a Reever Knot ). Practice tying your favorite knots periodically (from different angles) so that you'll remember how to tie them when you need them. Here are some bends: PDFmyURL.com 1.

Site Map Home Knots Index Single-Loop Knots (this page) Multi-Loop Knots Hitches Bends Miscellaneous Knots Decorative Knots Single-Loop Knots A single-loop knot is useful when you need to throw a rope over something such as a post (to tie up a boat, for example), or when you need to attach something to a loop of rope (as in rock climbing), etc. If you don't tie knots in rope very often then it might be difficult to remember which knot to use, and how to tie it properly, when you need a loop. Therefore, it's a good idea to learn one or two good knots which you can remember easily. For a mid-line loop or an end-line loop, my current preference is the double-wrapped Flying Bowline, although sometimes I use the Alpine Butterfly. When I need to pass a rope around an object and tie off the end, I usually use the Adjustable Grip Hitch. I've never had problems with slipping or jamming using these knots, but this doesn't mean that they're the best knots for you to use.
