== Tie-off - Mule overhand ==
To set your hands free from belaying, tie-off the mule overhand. The tie-off consists from a slipknot followed by an overhand knot. Both of them are tied around the sharp end of the rope. As both of these knots are tied with a bight and the rope is also pulled through the carabiner, the knot looks very tangled. It takes practice to tie and inspect the tie-off reliably.
