In the Giant Swing hookup, which item is attached to the Bowline on a Bight?

• A. The non-releasing end of the quick release
• B. A steel carabiner
• C. Butterfly knot
• D. Accessory cord

Answer: (B)

The Bowline on a Bight creates a fixed-size loop that acts as a secure anchor point in the Giant Swing hookup. That loop is meant to receive a steel carabiner, which clips into the loop to connect the rider’s setup to the main line. The carabiner provides a strong, quick-connect that can be safely released when needed, which is exactly how the load path is designed to work here. Other options don’t serve this connection role: the non-releasing end of a quick release is part of the release mechanism, the Butterfly knot is used for different tying purposes, and accessory cord isn’t the primary load-bearing connector in this rig.
