7-4 Friday Knot for Thought — The Barrel Knot

This week I decided to do the Barrel Knot. This knot is important to know so that you can keep yourself safe when rappelling off multi pitch routes where you'll be maxing out the rope to get to anchors. Also this knot is good to throw on at the end of a rope when belaying someone.

I am really excited for this week though because it is the first week that I have been able to make a video demonstration for the knot. Let me know what you think about the video. I am also looking to show the knots in use in later videos. Enjoy.
