How to Tie an Alpine Butterfly Knot

Instructables Cover Photo.jpg

Welcome to my How to Knot tutorial, I will be showing you how to tie an alpine butterfly knot. This knot’s intended use is for climbing. This an all around great knot as it’s able to hold a load equally regardless which is held, loop does not expand when tightened, and can be easily untied after a loaded. However while it’s quick to tie, it can be more difficult to tie than compared to other knots.

Be sure to check out the descriptive video at the end to help for further understand.
