Hi,
We usually use some variant on the Capstan Hitch, often made with a bight, to keep from dragging the long end through or around. But we've also been known to drill a hole in a timber and insert a bar to belay to, or to lash a heavy-duty carabiner to the timber, and belay to that.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
