The fastest method to tie a Figure 8 knot into the climbing harness. 100% perfect and easy to untie. Figure 8 is the most popular knot for Rock Climbing, because it is very hard to mess up and super easy to double check. Alternatively people choose to use Bowline (one of the 5 safe variations), because they have / had trouble untying Figure 8 after hard Climbing falls. However as I’ve shown in this video: https://youtu.be/QAr-uHd8h8o If you tie your Figure 8 properly you won’t have any trouble to untie it later. If you are a bowline user keep in mind that most of the people don’t know how to double check your knot. And if you never tied a bowline before and someone asks you to double check his bowline – don’t do that! Instead,1 tell the person “I don’t know how to check your knot please double check it your self”.
