Make a double bowline.
Make an extra turn around S-Part for the collar.
Return through the nipping loops.
Bring the tail back up through the collar loop.
Finish with the tail back down through the nipping loops.
Before setting the nipping loops, the working end leading to the collar loop must be pulled to tighten the collar loop, followed by a tug on the tail.
Questions:
-
Could this be a new bowline finish?
-
Is this a viable climbing harness tie-in, even with much stiffer rope than I am using? Can you find some line that doesn’t like this knot?
-
Is this as resistant to jamming as I think it is? I bend it a few times while holding the collar and nipping loops. It releases easily after all the loading that I can give it.
-
Is this knot as stable and secure as I think it is? It stays put when I abuse it and push and pull in weird ways. It appears to be resistant to ring loading.
-
How confident would you be partner checking this, considering its symmetry? Both side views look the same. I’ve been unable to come up with any mistake that looks right, or even close.
It looks a lot prettier in a double than a single, and is likely stronger, not that that matters for a harness tie-in. https://imgur.com/a/eVf4T2o
