A single bolt rebelay - what knot do you use?
Me and a mate are having a massive argument about this.
I've used both fig 8/9 and an alpine butterfly to do this. I much prefer using an alpine butterfly in this situation as it uses less rope, is easier to adjust and isn't a pig to untie after 3 or more people have loaded it. Also, since only one of the standing ends is being loaded, there's no danger of it capsizing (I know that alpine butterflys can reverse if both the rope going in and out of the know is loaded.)
So what do people think?
