whats your preffered knot of choice when you tie off the anchor? clove hitch? butterfly? Ive seen some tie a figure 8, but the 8 will fold over on itself if loaded from both sides. opinions?
If I'm dealing with a bomber 2-bolt anchor, I like to tie a clove hitch on one bolt for the second to jug on, and then a figure eight on the other bolt. Leave a bit of slack between the two knots.

1st: i will make a $money$ powerpoint with a couple double length slings.
2nd: tie an 8 to the powerpoint for hommie to jug
3rd: with the rest i tie a clove for me. i like the clove because it's fairly easy to resize if i need more slack to get into the haul bag etc. plus, when you're resizing the knot you don't have to untie/unclip it. making it safer.
i think tying a butterfly powerpoint is cool too, but it eats up a bit more rope, making it harder to link pitches etc.
