Figure of Eight Follow Through Although more complicated to tie, the Figure of Eight Follow Through is a preferred knot for climbers over and above a Double Bowline simply because it is less likely to collapse and to be miss-tied. They especially use it as a “Tie in” for attaching the climbing rope to the harness. In its formation a loop on the bight is created making it useful for most looped tasks and for securing around an object. The Figure of Eight Follow Through, although very secure and relatively easy to tie, can jam badly after heavy loading. The TFigure of Eight Follow Through allows a loop to be formed around an object after the initial figure-of-eight is developed; hence it is made to fit. The illustration here shows an optional stopper knot, often used to reduce the length of tag. Occasionally a stopper knot as added security however it is not required with this knot.
