hitches the knot can be adjusted to offset the size of
       the two attachment loops. Many climbers love the way
       these kinds of adjustments allow them to distribute load
       to components when the fall line of the fixed line tends
       to be widely variable. But these applications are more
       rare, and so the knots become very specialized in their
       application. Climbing instructors use these knots quite
       regularly, but they are not always that useful for a day of
       toproping.



































       Like the bunny eared eight, the bowline on a bight can
       be used to offset two attachment loops and is easily
       adjusted in the process. Perfect for attaching a fixed
       line to two components.
