How to tie a one-handed clove hitch

Plas y Brenin Instructor Brad Reed shows you how to tie a one-handed clove hitch, a useful skill to use when going into a single-point belay, or one side of an in-reach anchor. Have fun practising at home; the more times you do it, the more intuitive it will be.

I did this on a PYB climbing course last week (climbing on Tremadog) and my instructor was well impressed.

This is good but there are tons of videos on how to do this. There don't seem to be any on how to clove hitch a sling onto a peg/spike one-handed. That would be super useful! Something I've come across a few times on trad climbs when a peg needs tying off, or a quarry/rock spike, etc. I've only ever been able to fumble something over the top or, at best, girth hitch a sling on. When the climbing gets pushy and you cant get hands off, is there a way to chuck a clove-hitched sling on?

Jeez, much prefer the woman doing it in the Blue Water rope clip. I keep doing Munters with your method. Sorry.
