Rock Climbing Knots - Double Figure Eight Loop

Also known as bunny ears, the Double Figure Eight Loop is tied to equalize the load on two anchors, each clipped to the 'ear'. This knot is considered to be strong and secure, and it is fairly easy to adjust the size of the 'ears' or loops by moving rope from one of the loops to the other. Learn how to tie the Double Figure Eight Loop with the help of our animation and steps below.
