English term or phrase: bite
Anchor location. Anchor points shall be located to minimise the chance of unwanted movement and pendulum swings. Whenever possible place the anchor point directly above the site of work.

Protect the tree and PPE. Consider the use of tools at the anchor point that minimise damage to the tree and PPE.

Rope Installation. Users shall follow the approved installation sequence for each type of anchor device employed. For XYZ, pass the rope sling over the selected anchor branch or stem so that its ends lie to each side of, and below, the anchor. Pass the eye of the climbing line through the small ring before the large ring.
For natural anchors, pass the eye around the anchor point. Consider protecting the rope by a covering sleeve. Be aware that direct contact of the climbing rope on the tree leads to abrasion.

Eye connection. Connect the eye termination of the climbing line to the upper karabiner. Ensure the karabiner passes between the ***bite*** in the eye and the constriction band.

Schlaufe
Explanation:
Man Spricht bei Knoten und Bunden davon eine Schlaufe zu legen. Nicole hat die Frage also eigentlich schon beantwortet.
Hier wirkt der Ausdruck "doppelt gemoppelt", weil von der Schlaufe im Auge gesprochen wird, wobei ein Auge ja eine geschlossene Schlaufe ist.
