Step 4
Use the end of the rope to
're-trace' the figure of 8
knot. Follow the twists of
the rope starting
from
where the rope joins your
harness.
Step 5
Continue following the
twists until you end up
back at the start of the
knot.
Pull the whole thing tight.
Step 6
Make sure the end of the
rope is around 25cm long.
If it is shorter, you'll have to
untie and start again. After
this, you will need to tie a
'stopper knot'. Loop the
short section of rope
around the main length.
