ragging a sheet bend over, or through, any obstruction, like a rocky crevice, can lead to
D the knot sticking. The one-way sheet bend produces a n10re streamlined knot, but do
remember that the short ends should point away from the direction in which the knot is
being pulled.

Make a bight in the end of
I one of the ropes to be tied.

Take the second rope and

bight in the first rope.

Pass the working end of the

bight in the first.
