When making the figure eight loop is it safe to complete the loop with a set 
of six clamps at the point where the rope ends overlap? Two sets of three with 
each set installed to saddle the live end? An ASCII drawing is below:

loop ...--------^--^--^--|--|--|--
              --|--|--|--^--^--^------------... loop
