two strands together that are running in opposite
directions.

with accessory cord, or for joining two ropes
together for double strand rappels.
Fig. 1 - Tying:
Thread rope as shown.
Fig. 2 - Dress:
Tighten the knots until they are snug against
each other.

Be warned that the Double Fisherman, when
used to join ropes for double strand rappels,
has a tendency to catch on edges. We recommend
the EDK
when the risk of stuck ropes exists.
