Vertical caving terminology and methods > Knots > Knot construction and behaviour
Tying a knot that would normally be tied on a bight using the end of a rope instead. The first half of the knot is tied first, then the tail end of the rope is passed around whatever object needs to be inside the loop of the knot. The tail is then passed back through the knot to tie the second half of the knot, such as following the path of the first half of the knot. This results in exactly the same structure as the normal version of the knot, but allows it to be tied around something that cannot be opened to allow the loop of the knot to pass through it, such as a natural, or a climber's sit harness.
