The '''Figure-eight loop''' is the most common way how to tie onto the rope. Together with a re-threaded bowline, it is one of the two widely accepted knots for tying-in at the rope end. It is popular for its reliability and visual clarity, which makes it easy to inspect. It can be difficult to untie after bigger lead falls, especially if it was not properly [[#Preventing from getting stuck|pre-tightened]]. Closely related figure-8 bend knot is [[#Rolling|prone to roll]]. | The '''Figure-eight loop''' is the most common way how to tie onto the rope.
