FIGURE-8 REWOVEN

The end result of this knot is identical to the figure-eight on a bight, but it’s tied differently. Also known as a figure-eight follow through, this knot eliminates the need for another carabiner or connector and is tied directly into harnesses or structure.

Applications

Securing rescuers, litters, anchor plates, anchorages, or equipment to the end of a rope.

Directions

Tie a loose figure-eight. With the working end, run around the structure being tied into and threaded back through the original figure-eight. After the working end comes around the structure, it follows the path of the rope through the single-eight until the working end comes out the bottom of the eight.
