How to Tie Girth Hitch Knot

You tie a girth hitch to go around an object. Over here I have setup a girth hitch on a tree, you could also use it in your O rings, around shelter material or if there is a circle on your ice axe, if you need to attach a piece of webbing to that. A girth hitch is a really useful knot. So what I have got is my fixed loop here. I am going to use my piece of line which is another loop. I am going to go behind it, over and through and I have got this bight with a loop. Then I take the rest of my rope and just feed it all through there and cinch it nice and tight. You can also tie a girth hitch without having a complete loop. So if I have a piece of material, I just take my line, make a bight in it, go through the O ring and then you just feed the rest of the body all the way through and then cinch it down. This is very similar to how you would tie on webbing on your ice axe.
