Retro - I dunno why you think the Bowline on a bight is complicated??? Anyhow, I use the technique you describe too. I made it up as far as I know, haven't seen it anywhere else either.
J Kirby - It doesnt make a ADT. Re-read it.
Winter - The rope doesn't go from one bolt to the other. The figure eight produces kind of a master point. The loop is clipped off to one bolt. One leg of rope coming out goes to your harness, and the other leg goes to the other bolt where it is cloved in.
Ity's looking better. Just "few showers" tommorow now and a 40% chance on Sunday, heading for sun on Mon. Could be fine. Or not. One of those weekends. Probably best all you Seattle folk stay away. If you don't come up it will be nice here.
Sorry Coopah, but unless you have a "becket" to tie it to, it's probably actually a sheet bend you are referring to.
I don't know what your smoking but a becket bend is exactly what I mean...I think you are uninformed to other names of knots. Maybe you should look it up before you spout off again...
Umm, I looked it up (even though I know I was right) and it seems I am right! Imagine that!
Let's take this to PM if you wanna argue more about it. Newbies forum aint the best place for pissing contests.

Here you go, CBS, Admittedly, it doesn't adress 6mm+8.5mm.
For those wondering if it's gonna be worth heading up this weekend...
