Thank you Jim, Dave, Charlie, and Charles. Looks like a great site ! A
number of people have suggested a Bowline but when I did a search on
that site it shows at least 6 of them hi-hi......From what I am seeing
the bowline is a way to make a loop at the end of a rope....I need to
tie two pieces of rope together AND end up with a loop (or two if it has
to be).
The knot/loop will NOT be passing thru either pulley. The tied ends and
loop will only be able to go up or down the tower between the two pulleys.

This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Bowline on a bight is the way to make a loop in the middle of a rope.
Or a figure 8 on a doubled rope.
I would look at some variant of the figure-8 knot - Climbers use these a
lot, since they're easy to tie (in the dark, and by feel), they don't
slip, and they can be untied after being loaded.
A double carrick bend is a more traditional knot to join two lines, but
I don't know how you could put a loop in it.
A grapevine knot - basically a pair of overhand knots, where one line
passes through the loop of the overhand knot in the other, then you pull
them together. This is usually done with an extra loop around the "other
line" or with two half hitches around the "other rope"
Does the loop have to be symmetric with the knot? Does it have to be a
"single strand" or can it be doubled?
