'''Steps description''': Start with a rope through a carabiner. Grab the rope strand which runs from the back of the carabiner with your hand thumb pointing down and rotate the hand into a thumb-up position (1). Open the gate (2) and pull the rope through the gate from the front to back and seat the rope into the carabiner, the gate closes itself automatically (3). Sequentially pull the rope strands to tighten the knot (4,5) and screw the safety-lock (5). Inspect that the knot is tied properly and that the gate is locked (7).
|Note that the rope is crossing the front string now, thus making a loop. Open the gate and pull the rope through it (2). The rope string coming from the hitch should go behind the carabiner in this step
