                 Uses: shortening a line; bypassing a worn section; loop knot with two fixed loops
                 Pros: very strong; secure under constant load

                 Cons: insecure if subjected to movement or irregular loading






                  Untying: With load off the rope, pull the part of the original middle crossing

                  turn that runs directly between the left and right crossing turns, so that the
                  loops are drawn through the crossing turns.
