You can leave a longer end if you want, but it will hang out at the end. You need enough to go around the pole at least twice. You may need to increase the length if you are working with a larger diameter. Always keep your eye on where the ends of the rope are in comparison to one another. That makes it much easier to follow.
You should see 2 loops wrapped over the pole, making an “X” in front, the one you just created in the previous step.
With this movement, you’ll create a second “X. "
When climbing indoors, carabiner clips are anchored in the rocks so you can tie your rope on them to act as a safety. You can use this in any climbing that uses anchors. One benefit of this knot is you can tie it with one hand.
The rope should come down from the clip, then go up and forward to make the loop.
The “front” of the loop should go over the clip first.
You should end up with 2 loops. On the left loop, the end leading away will be in front of the other part of the loop. On the right loop, the end leading away will be behind the other part of the loop. You can only use the quick method with something that has at least one end up to slip the loops over.
