How to Tie Alpine Butterfly Loop | Most Versatile Knot

Why would you use the alpine butterfly for core shots? It can slip pretty easily right? would you put a carabiner in it?

Always like your example and how to do it.

Solid knot to shorten modern dog leashes made of climbing rope. Adds an extra handle or loop to tie doggie bags, treat bag, water, etc. Plus taking some length off will help manage strong dogs that generate too much momentum if you give them a full 6ft "head start" on you.

Not the easiest or vest way to tie this but clearly done

Now tie the running alpine

Penis knot

I'd like to know on top of everything: how easy is it to undo...?

Great for use with pulleys and work with mechanical advantage. Totally looks like a rabbit ear to me. Alpine Butterfly sounds cooler than rabbit ear knot.

Is there any knot name which can be used to tie two ropes together to climb and when the climbing is done the knot could be easily untied from the ground?

Butterfly? Had never heard that monicker used for me genitalia...

Yeah definitely sth else… oh maybe a butterfly looks like the else too

What else does it look like? 🤔

my girlfriend appreciates this video

Mind outta the gutter...

A VAGINA!!!

How do I tie a knot in the middle of the rope and connect it to a fixed object?

yes, the alpine cock and balls.

Great video, but you don’t show how you tighten the first end and how to remove at the end

Is this a dropper loop on fishing line?

Something else 😂😂😂

You are an excellent teacher

We all know what it really looks like 😉😂

Excellent paced instruction. Thanks

No one would want to learn it if it were called the Alpine D*ck Loop....

I would like to see some alternate ways to tie it, but I appreciate that it was not excessively prescriptive. Understanding a knot involves more descriptive instruction imo because so many are not just limited to one method of tying with only one size of cordage. I use a variety of different sizes but they are rarely the long hefty and very heavy climber type ropes. I am much more of a bushcrafter and backpacker, so versatility and utility are key things I go for.

That was kinda difficult to do… there’s an easier way to do this knot and this isn’t it.

You're right, it looks like something else

Can you tie the double butterfly with this technique?

🤣

What is the most secure loop knot you know of when I want to put weight onto both ends instead of just the loop like it was only a rope without any loop attached?
Alpine Butterfly Loop vs Dropper Loop? Or something else?

Looks like something else, what ?

Haha. I teach this knot in my adventure class and the students are always like…..Ms Thompson…this is NOT a butterfly. ;). I like your method. A little easier for them to understand.

awesomely concise, no BS… great video. Looks like a peen instead of a butterfly

Weirdest way ever

"a little bit like something else"

O.O

I cant unsee it now!

This has always been my favorite knot too!

awesome and funny

This is the most difficult way to tie this knot.

That's what I thought it looks like too. we must be adults

Thank you so much for this, I've watched so many videos trying to find a way that I will remember to do this knot and I've finally found it!!
Even the wrap around the hand method didn't stick with me which is apparently the easiest way.

i think it looks something else too

If I'm rappelling while rock climbing and notice a cut in my rope, I could tie this knot. However, as I lower, wouldn't it just get stuck at the anchor system? Would there be something better to use? New to this.

It does look like a butterfly, just not at the end.

much better if you going to call it a "DICK KNOT"

Hi. Can this knot be safely used to serve like a step/ foot holder for something like a single strand rope ladder?

I’m trying to do this on my lanyard it’s hard but I’ll keep trying it’s too long omg

The bite of 87, the loop of 93

Cock knot reference made me lol

Im convinced that inspiration for these knots comes from unravelling long garden hoses that have been dragged all over . Some say it's their earbuds but i say it's garden hoses .

Haha the visual aid for isolating a damaged portion of rope is great

+1 for stating the obvious. It doesn't look like a butterfly, it looks like something else.
