Yes, New guys right it's a bowline with a finish tuck, a better half, ect. It keeps the tail out of the way. You do end up with a larger knot thats harder to pull through crotchs. I would also shorten the line thats connected to the micro pulley too. Here a pic. of me back when I used this style of climbing. '03. See the tree over my right shoulder? 160' pine...
beautiful big dozer.
