  • you use the nice way to remember it. I teach make a face, choke it, poke it.

  • I have never finished off the knot before, just always left the figure 8 bare. I was taught by a guide like that and have been doing it like that for years. Though there is nothing wrong with doing it, do it if you like, but I doubt a well tied figure 8 will come undone.

  • Newbie here.. well executed video. Thank you for taking the time and sharing.

    Climb high - climb safe!

  • was that ur 'willy' going into her 'vagina' ?

  • While I'm not an expert on knots, I was curious about this yosemite finish, and there seems to be a little debate about the integrity of it. I played with it myself and felt that it did seem to compromise the uniformity a little--that the friction created by a the clean parallel lines was a bit less. At any rate, I always use a stopper/fishermens knot at the top of the 8--not an overhand. The figure 8 is solid on it's own as long as it is clean; a stopper knot at the top of the 8 is bomb proof

  • wicked video, way more informative and clear then the other videos out there!

  • @TheSacredGoat doesn't exist
