Overhand on a Bight Key knot in both webbing and rope that creates an attachment point for a carabiner.įigure Eight on a Bight Similar to the Overhand on a Bight, this knot creates a beefier connection point that is easier to untie after being pulled tight while holding a heavy load.įigure Eight Double Loop (aka Super Eight, Hungry Eight or Bunny-Ears Eight) A variation on the Figure Eight on a Bight that has doubled ropes at the attachment point, enabling connection to two different primary anchors/carabiners.īHK Knot (aka Master Point knot) The “Big Honking Knot” can be either an overhand or a figure eight tied on a doubled bight, meaning you first make a long, single bight, then fold THAT bight over again to make another bight of the first bight.
