Rock Climbing Knots - Double Overhand Knot

Comapared to the Overhand Knot, the Double Overhand Knot is more preferable to be used as a stopper knot since it is harder to untie and is less likely to pull through. This is sometimes tied with another knot for added security. Let our animation teach you how to tie a Double Overhand Knot.




Step 1:
Make a crossing turn or loop by placing the working end on top of the standing part.

Step 2:
Pass the working end through the loop.

Step 3:
Repeat Step 2. At this point, you should have two complete turns at the standing part.

Step 4:
Pull both ends to tighten.
