Form the locked Brummel on both ends. Pass the
shorter taped end through the center of the rope
at Mark B. Do not bury Mark C, leave on the entry
side of standing rope.
Pass the opposite end through the center of
the tail, approximately 2 picks from where it
exits the standing part of the rope. Close up the
Brummel, bringing Marks B and C together at
the vertex of the eye.

Measure 2 picks from the point where the standing part passes
through the tail. This is Mark D.
With a fid attached to the taped end of the tail, bury the tail from
Mark D past the Midpoint A to Mark X. Just before the pulled taper
strands are buried into the standing part of the rope, cut them off.
Pull the tail out at Mark X as far as possible, and repeat Steps 5,
6, and 7 for the opposite end.
Smooth all slack from the rope, working from the Brummels to the center mark. Mark where the tapered ends exit the rope
at both Marks X. Pull both tapered ends out from Mark X, measure 3-1/2" from previous mark where the tapers exited at
Mark X (this is the section of both tapered ends that overlap in the center section), and cut off at an angle.
Milk all slack from the Eye-and-Eye Tail. The goal is to keep the diameter and
fullness of the rope consistent tied into a climbing hitch. When all slack has been
removed and the diameter is consistent, lock stitch the eyes at both ends.
