CONT

Nœud de huit tissé. Ce nœud très simple consiste à faire un nœud de huit sur une des cordes, de manière lâche et en laissant 10 cm de courant; puis à suivre le chemin avec l'autre corde. Le risque étant que l'un des courants glisse, on s'assurera que le courant de chaque corde se trouve à l'intérieur de la boucle formée par le dormant de l'autre corde.
