Double Alpine Butterfly Loop

This contains secure loops that make it easy for you to climb mountains or
rocks, and are useful for clip-in points that do not easily collapse. There are
several methods of tying—but you could always start with the instructions
below:

Instructions:

1. Get the rope and have it wrapped across your palm for at least four
times.

2. Make 2 to 3 turns by your fingertips, and then make a complete 4-
turn with your thumb.
3. Pick the turns that are near your fingertips, and then have them

inserted under the first two turns you have made.
4. Finally, let the knot slide off your hand by pulling the ends tight.
