P. 37
Tie the figure 8 knot by creating a loop, wrapping the
working end of the rope around the standing end one
time, and finally putting the rope end through the
original loop.
Run the rope
through the
tie-in point(s)
of a harness.
Use the
working end
of the rope to
retrace the
original figure
8. Take care to
keep the rope
strands parallel
in order to tie
a well-dressed
knot.
