The figure-eight knot is a fundamental knot in climbing, used to tie into the rope for belaying and rappelling. It’s known for its simplicity and reliability.
To tie a figure-eight knot, you create a loop in the rope, then pass the free end through the loop and around the standing part of the rope, forming a figure-eight shape. The knot is then pulled tight, ensuring a secure connection between the climber and the rope.
The figure-eight knot is a preferred choice for climbers due to its strength, ease of tying, and the fact that it doesn’t require a backup knot. However, it’s crucial to practice tying the knot correctly and to double-check it before each climb to ensure safety.
