sling,startbytyingaLark’sHeadontherope.Thenwraptheendoftheslingaround

theropeagain,tuckingitunderthefirstloop.Thenwraptheendoftheslingaround

theropeoncemore,alsotuckingitunderthefirstloop.Dresstheknotbypulling

downonthefreeendofthesling,andsmoothingandcompressingthewraps.Pullit

snug.Whencorrectlytied,theknotwillgrabtheropewhentheslingispulleddown.

Whentheslingisslack,grabtheknottoslideituptherope.Tobringtheknotdown

therope,grabtheknotitself,notthesling,andpulldown.
