How to Tie a Release Hitch Bottom Load Knot

Video Transcript

Now I'm going to demonstrate the Release Hitch Bottom Loaded. This is another climbers, caver's special that they use. I'm not a climber or a caver, so talk to someone who does this a lot. And get their thoughts on this before attempting this your self. If you look down here, you can see that I've got my line here. Now this would be my main line that I'm going to attach here. And you can see here I've got a line with a couple of figure of eights knots put in, and I've got a little hitch, a little clamp put on this side here. What I'm going to do, is my clamp side is going to be my working end, or my standing end. I'm going to put it up here, and I'm going to bring this up over here. I'm just going to create a loop in it like so. A little overhand loop. Then I'll bring my other line, my working end back down. And I'm going to bring it under both lines. I'm going to try to put these lines together. Just pull that loop out there. Bring it under both lines like this. Then I'm going to bring it up under my line I have here. Then bring this line down some. What I'm going to do, is right here on this section is where I'm going to start creating my loops here. Just looping it around. As many times as necessary, as you feel, to keep it from slipping or dragging as you are coming down. Just pull out a little bit more here. Now, I'm just going to take this, and as I finish this here, we're going to pull it right here over the top of this. This line right here is going to go through this initial loop that we've made. And this one's going to go through this loop here that we've created. And pull it. And as you pull on this, you'll see that this will all tighten up. You can pull on this loop down here to pull this one tight. And then pull on this to pull that one tight. And there you go.
