               FIGURE EIGHT LOOP



               The Figure Eight Loop is popular with climbers due to its distinctive look
               when tightened, which helps to determine whether it is tied correctly.
               For  a  high  level  of  security,  the  running  end  can  be  secured  to  the
               standing part with a Triple Overhand Knot (see Chapter 1).


               STEP 1 Begin by folding over the running end to make a bight, and use
               it to form a Figure Eight.































               STEP 2 As you tighten the knot, the bight will form the loop.
