Abstract
A device to be secured to the end of a rope to provide a formed eye to which a carabiner or the like may be attached. The device comprises an elongated planar bar having a plurality of spaced, rope-receiving apertures along its length, the apertures each having a diameter which is similar to that of the rope and being spaced, so that the rope may be flushly received in the apertures and threaded through them in sequence. The apertures have beveled edges so as not to cut the rope when threaded therethrough. A further aperture is provided in the bar to constitute the formed eye through which the carabiner or the like may be releasably attached. When an end of the rope is threaded through the rope receiving openings and passed through a last loop formed thereby and tightened, the friction the rope develops with it secures the device in place at the rope end.
