Knots

Also known as reef knot/double knot. It is used for many purposes like, tying up bundles and packages, securing bandages, and joining two same-sized ropes together. It flattens when it is being tighten but it is not recommended for lifting/supporting heavy load or strain.

• Square Knot

• Sheet Bend Knot

• Figure 8 Bend Knot

• Bowline Knot

is recommended for joining two ropes of unequal size. This can also be used to lengthen the rope. For instance, if you have two pieces of rope and neither is long enough for the job that you want, you can tie both pieces of the rope together with the sheet bend.

• Munter Hitch Knot

• Sheet Bend Knot

• Figure 8 Knot

• Square Knot

belongs to the group of knots known as stopper knots. Is usually at the end of a rope. This knot is the basis of many other complicated knots used for rock climbing such as the figure 8 bend, figure 8 on a bight, figure 8 bend knot, double figure 8 knot, etc.

• Overhand Knot

• Clover Hitch Knot

• Double Figure 8 Knot

• Single Figure 8 Knot

This knot is also known as Double Hitch Knot. This knot is ideal for fast attaching/securing yourself to an anchor bolt, belay or rappel station. Because it is adjustable without untying, it is especially well-suited for use as a personal anchor knot.

• Double Figure 8 Knot

• Square Knot

• Clover Hitch Knot

• Overhand Knot

is used as a rescue knot in cases of mountain climbing, fires, or water accidents. It forms an open loop that is easy for someone to grab onto and be pulled up out of a dangerous situation. It can also be used as a substitution for a body harness, but only in life-saving procedures and never as a part of the main climbing rope. Again, if used as a harness for climbing, it goes with a combination of stopper knots on the shorter end.

• Overhand Knot

• Bowline Knot

• Square Knot

• Figure 8 Knot

Also known as a half knot. This knot is a basic stopper knot used as a safety knot by the climbers, and its form is used as a basis for other more complicated knots. If it is tightened strongly it can be jammed with difficulties to be untied.

• Overhand Knot

• Munter Hitch Knot

• Figure 8 Knot

• Figuer 8 Bend Knot

Also known as bunny ears. It looks similar to the to the figure 8 on a bight, but it distinguishes from it with two loops. This can be hooked into two anchor points which can form a stable and secure setup for caving and climbing. This knot is big, more stable, has better strength, and doesn’t get loose with ease.

• Figure 8 Knot

• Double Figure 8 Knot

• Triple Fisherman Knot

• Square Knot

is used to secure a bight at the end of the rope. This knot is commonly used to “tie-in” to the rope. Is a good knot for quickly anchoring the rope or anchoring yourself to a belay station.

• Figure 8 Knot on a bight

• Butterfly Knot

• Figure 8 Knot

• Triple Fisherman Knot

This knot is used for connecting two ropes, but only with the same diameters. This is usually used to achieve more length.

• Sheet Bend Knot

• Figure 8 Knot

• Square Knot

• Figure 8 Bend Knot

It is used to tie a secure loop in the middle of the rope. This can also be used to secure a middle climber on a rope with three or more people attached to the climbing rope. Climbers use the butterfly knot in various situations, such as equalizing a belay or isolating damaged rope. It is also a common knot for glacier climbing, allowing climbers to attach a third person to their rope.
