Having a brain fart, what's the name of this knot.

Is it buntline or something ????

 

Or scaffold hitch???

[Will Hinchliffe]

Anchor hitch?

[FlyingSquirrel]

Not 100% sure. I was told when I was first starting out climbing and in the midst of all of the other knot names I've learned on the job I've forgotten this one.

 

 

EDIT: After a quick google search Phenom wins. Anchor Hitch it is.

 

Thanks!

I just checked in a book I think it is an anchor bend or Anchor hitch.

Don't climb on that mate!

[josharb87]

why not?

[Rupe]

I agree its not the best termination not, whatever its called, thats why I forgot it too!

[FlyingSquirrel]

I've climbed on it for a while now and haven't had any issues with it. Not saying that I'm not willing to give it up in the name of safety though. What are the issues with it?

 

If you're talking about the Omega in the picture I know it's garbage but it's the only one I have here at the house so I used it for the sole purpose of taking these pics.

Anchor bend, normally has a half hitch underneath it. Hard to undo once loaded.
