Joining Two Ropes 24-Dec-2010 At 5:06:26 PM Richard Delaney

Nice one hargs.
The EDK has been well tested and is fine for single person loads however should not be used for loads too far in excess of 100kg. It should only be used for joining ropes at/behind the anchor - not mid pitch.
If joining two ropes for a retrievable rope abseil then single fig 8 in the end of one and rethread the end of the other through it. Note: this must end up with the two "live" ropes coming out opposite ends of the knot. It slides over edges OK (but no better than double fishermans) and can be undone very easilly.
hargs' suggestion is similar but for joining multiple ropes for long descents - nice.
