reesetee commented on the word one-handed bowline
Used in climbing as a quick way to tie a bowline when one hand is occupied or injured. There are three main steps: 1. Hold the bitter end and tie a half hitch with your whole forearm. 2. Pass the bitter end round the standing end. 3. Still holding the bitter end, withdraw your hand from the loop.
