The Bight Method
If you are less than half a rope length from the ground, and the rings on the anchor are big enough to accommodate a bight of rope being passed through, the bight method is the safest way to thread an anchor because you are never entirely untied from the rope, and it requires less gear to execute safely than the retie method. Always stay on belay when threading an anchor to lower.
1.Clip into the anchor with a quickdraw, sling, or even a single carabiner; but don’t block the lowering rings—leave room to thread a bight of rope through them. The clip-in does not need to be redundant, because you are still on belay (A).
2.Pull up about 6–8 feet of rope, and pass the loop of rope through the rings (B).
3.Tie a figure eight on a bight in the end of the bight (C).
