The Gibbs knot. For connecting two ropes together #climbing #knots #mountains

The Gibbs knot is probably the knot we should all be using to connect two ropes together for rappelling. It ticks a lot of boxes for this application…

✅ Offset, rides over the terrain well when you pull it.
✅ Easy to tie, when you’ve practiced it (save this reel for later!)
✅ Stable and strong, doesn’t roll like an overhand or flat figure if 8 when used in an offset configuration.
✅ Works with similar or vastly different diameter ropes for example a 6mm radline and a Volta guide 9mm.
✅ Travels through some larger carabiners
⚠️ Can be tied incorrectly.
⚠️ Not commonly known so hard to verify it’s tied correctly.

Any thoughts on the Gibbs? Do you use it?

Full video about knots for connecting ropes over on my YouTube channel.
