'''Steps description''': First take a bight of a rope and turn it end around itself making a half of the turn (1), then pull the rope through the upper eye (2) creating a figure-eight knot. Next pull the rope through the both eyes of the harness next to the belay loop (3). Continue by following-through the original figure-eight knot (4,5,6). Next tighten the rope ends (7,8,9,10) and at the end do not forget to check the knot and if the loop is threaded through the harness correctly (11). This step should be done also as a part of the partner check! | |||
