Tucked bowline

This adaptation of a triple-loop bowline was first proposed by Robert Chisnall in the mid-

1980s, as an aid to teaching. The adjacent twin loops can be used by a climbing instructor and
trainee, while the back-tucked third loop is belayed to a convenient tree or other anchorage.

In a long bight, tie a triple bowline; treating the doubled portion as it if were a single line, form a
small loop (1). Now tuck the working of the bight up through the loop, behind the twin standing

parts of the line, and back down through the loop to act as the third loop (2). Then tuck the third
loop around and back through alongside the working end and standing part of the rope (3).
