Great job!I can't quite tell from the angle on the first photo, and it appears like your wraps my be crossing as they're coming around the arm. If that was the case, it could create a pressure point for the person. Good tip is to clear your wraps there to ensure they're flat and even.For your question about the double bight for uplines, check out the Uplines & Lock-offs video by Gorgone. The first one in that series covers basic anchoring, which include the double bight.

This was such a great performance to watch. Gave me some great insights and ideas for the first time I get to co-top in a rope scene in a few weeks. Thanks for sharing this.

Welcome Ghoul.Definitely check out the predicament stuff on SS. I've taken inspiration from several of them, and my rope Bottoms have appreciated that.I'm in a similar place around wanting to incorporate more transitions, so I'll be curious to see what you find.

David, welcome to the community.As to your question about a more intentional learning strategy, I would offer that there's no "one, perfect way" of doing it. I am a big believer in seeing what others are doing, and then finding or adjusting based upon what works for you.I know for myself I shift from time to time. I'll spend time learning a pattern, and then practice it (a LOT.) Once I am at a point where I don't have to think through it, then I start to play with improvising or modifying it. If it is something that is more complex, I might just stick to leaving it as is.Ultimately, I know that the more I tie, the smoother my learning curve becomes as I adopt new tying styles or techniques.Most important...remember to have fun with it!
