How to tie a One Handed Clove Hitch

There are times when this really comes into its own on belays. Worth practicing with your weaker hand too, there are a couple of key principles- which way the back bar is facing and how you initially grab the rope. Watch the orientation of my hand when I grab the rope and the finishing position! Have fun!

Great move.
Do practice with weak hand as well. You never know when it might come in handy.

I had to watch this in slomo about 50 times B4 I got it. But I did, so thanks a bunch!

That is the, "Whew....made it!" hitch all leaders know!

you could also just tie the knott one handed without the carabiner, then clip the completed hitch to the biner.
