 Topic - stopper knot or rethread?
|
|---|
 by - ashaw  on - 18 Dec 2012 |
spent a number of years teaching my students to do stopper knots above their re-tied figure 8. I used to justify it that it would jam in the 8 and it also got rid of the extra piece of rope so it didnt hit you in the bollo**s. Then a few years ago I discovered the re thread dropping the tail back into the lower part of the 8. I now teach this to my students and groups. When i look at it if you were too fall the tail would simply jam in the 8 and it would in fact tighten up on it. A stopper knot can not only look messy but also can be daunting to a beginner when they watch it slowly come undone and they think the whole knot is failing.
So what do people prefer and why? |
