| | guarde knot / ratchet knot / alpine clutch | Explanation:
Here it is, exactly as described:
"STEP 1. Place a bight of rope into the two anchored carabiners (works best with two like carabiners, preferably ovals).
STEP 2. Take a loop of rope from the non-load side and place it down into the opposite cararabiner so that the rope comes out between the two carabiners."
See illustrations. Near foot of page

My antivirus doesn't like that Spanish site. Just in case, here's another one, also illustrated. See "corazón", about halfway down the page:

Here it's called a garda knot or alpine clutch:

And it's also called garda knot here (illustration at foot of page):

There are other references to the "guarde knot", but they seem to be versions of the document already cited. Elsewhere it is more often called the garde knot or garda hitch.
"Garda Hitch ("Alpine Clutch")
Also known as the "Alpine Clutch", this knot locks the rope so it can only move in one direction."
http://www.chockstone.org/TechTips/GardaHitch.htm
"Ratchet knot" is a generic term; this is one type, but there are others.
So I think the answer should be:
garda knot / hitch // alpine clutch

Sorry, "garda knot", not "garde knot". |
