The double-figure-8 is pretty rare in climbing, it's the regular figure-8 loop that's used. Sometimes called a "figure-8 follow-through" to describe the tying method. The "double-figure-8" has two loops, it's not at all commonly used in climbing. Mostly just for some improvised rescue situations as part of an improvised harness to replace a damaged harness's leg loops.
