Not the right knot

[redmoosefaction]

Do you mean a Yosemite or is this something different.

 

Yes, but I don't feed it through the loop first, just straight back up. I just checked it on google and it says it's as good as a figure of eight

As others have said, I use a fishermans/scaffold knot. Never had any issues with it.

it may or may not be of interest, but indoor climbing walls for insurance purposes have banned the use of bowline for tying into and only allow fig 8.

I use fig 8

Brett, as I mentioned in my post earlier rock climbing rope isn't great for tying a bowline anyway

I find rock climbing rope horrid for tying any kind of knot....

Not really true though, modern dynamic ropes are much softer than the ropes we use at work. I actually use bowline to tie into my double ropes when trad climbing

 

Maybe you guys are using old climbing ropes??

 

Dynamic ropes get much stiffer with age and use

I do only have experience of old dynamic ropes.... nasty stuff... makes good tow rope though.....

Old dynamic ropes are awful, i have an old sport rope that i can hold upright, like a snake charmer, for about 2.5 meters!
