All Touchstone Gyms Now Require a Double Fisherman Back Up Knot
Due to recent safety issues, we are now asking all top rope climbers to use a double fisherman back up knot when tying into the rope. We believe that this will make it harder for a climber to mistakenly start a climb before completing their figure 8 knot.
We thank you for your cooperation on this issue.

Technically, I think the knot shown in the photo is a "Double Fisherman". I get the point though, good idea!
