Another Alan Lee creation!

                                             An interesting variation of the Yosemite
                                             Bowline – and much improved.
                    Figure 7a                                                              Figure 7b
                                             ‘Lee’s locked Yosemite Bowline’
                                             would appear to be a reasonable name.

                                             Various trials of this Yosemite Bowline
                                             variant indicate it is both secure and
                                             stable. With 3 rope diameters inside the
            Nipping
            loop                             nipping loop, it should also have a
                                             raised MBS yield.
