List of knots

	The Klemheist
		It appears to be identical to the knot described by Ashley for securing a loop to a vertical pole (ABOK # 1762, p 299).
		Structure: The knot requires a "Prusik Loop" which is constructed by joining the two ends of a length of rope using a Double Fisherman's or a Triple Fisherman's.
		Slide and Grip Knots: The Klemheist is a good example of the family of "Slide and Grip" knots.

		The Klemheist knot (or Machard knot)(not the same as the french Prusik) is a type of friction hitch, used as part of a system to ascend or descend a climbing rope.
		Klemheist knot, a Prusik knot and a Bachmann knot may also be found on the Chockstone link below The prusik knot or prusik hitch is a friction hitch knot most commonly used by climbers for ascending.

		The klemheist is another in the family of prusik knots - sometimes known as slide-and-grip knots.
		The knot must be tied with a rope of diameter less than the main rope, as the effectiveness of the knot is reduced the closer the two ropes are in size.
		Unlike the prusik knot the klemheist is only effective in one direction.

		Knots used by climbers rarely break, largely because the materials used in the construction of ropes, webbing and accessory cord are more than strong enough to meet the demands normally placed upon them.
		In all cases, friction knots work the same way, by clamping onto the rope when tensioned, and sliding along the rope when tension is released (or allowing the rope to slide through the knot).
		In order for a friction knot to grip, the cord from which it is tied must be smaller in diameter than the rope to which it is attached.

		A double figure-8 knot is used to attach the end of a rope to a rescue load.
		The knot must be passed by the belay device while maintaining tension on the belay line.

		Knots have been the subject of interest both for their ancient origins, common use, and the mathematical implications of knot theory.
		A 'Knot' is also a measure of speed in water, which gains its name from the distance between two knots of a piece of rope.
		For example, loop knots share the attribute of having some kind of an anchor point constructed on the standing end (such as a loop or overhand knot) into which the working end is easily hitched to using a round turn.

		This knot can work loose over time, so be sure the knot is cinched very tight and the tails of the knot are at least 2 inches long.
		Double Fisherman's Knot: The double fisherman's knot, also known as the grapevine knot, is the most secure and preferred knot for tying the ends of two ropes together for a rappel.
		Klemheist Knot: The Klemheist knot is another alternative to the prusik, with the advantage that it allows you to use a sling made from either accessory cord or webbing.

		① 프루지크 매듭 (Prusik knot) : 프루지크매듭에 사용하는 슬링은 반드시 코드슬링으로 주로프보다 가는 5- 7mm의 코드슬링을 사용해야 한다.(웨빙으로 프루지매듭을 할 수 없다) 로프가 얼어 있거나 무거운 하중이 걸릴 때는 슬링을 3-4회이상 돌려야 한다.

	Canyoning knots - OZultimate.com canyoning
		Overhand knots (including double overhand knots) are often used to back up other knots, and to tie off loose ends.
		Casual observation indicates that the klemheist is easier to tie, set and release after tension than the prusik knot.
		The figure-of-eight (on a bight or rethreaded) is generally the best loop to use, as long as the direction of pull on the tails is opposite to that of the loop.

	Knots - MuacWiki
		Tying a knot in a rope immediately reduces its strength to between 50 and 70% of the unknotted rope, but obviously knots have to be tied to use the rope.
		The grip of prusik knots on the rope depends on the thickness of the rope relative to the sling, and on the flexibility of the sling.
		The tape knot (water knot) is satisfactory for tying rope slings on jamnuts, provided at least 8cm of spare rope is left and the ends are whipped with string or taped down with sticky tape.

		The knot is almost idiot-proof, all you have to do is add an extra twist to a normal knot then follow the rope back through.
		The knot is the strongest if the working end stays on the inside and no strands are crossed.
		The working end of the rope coils around the standing end forming half of the knot, when the other side is tied in the same manner the halves are pulled together.

	A scientific study of common friction knots
		The standard advice that a knot should be tested for suitability prior to use is probably reasonably sound for climbers, cavers, mountaineers and vertical rescuers, who are accustomed to exercising careful judgment based on extensive development of skills and acquisition of sound knowledge.
		Generally, the next best performing knot for protecting an abseil was the Bachmann knot which performed satisfactorily in about 32% of cases, (19 out of 60 tests), was not recommended in 20% of circumstances and was definitely unsatisfactory or unsafe in 48% of tests.
		The Klemheist knot, properly tied, was safely useable in the smallest percentage of tests, 7% (5 out of 72 tests), was not recommended in 12.5 % and was unsatisfactory or unsafe in 80.5% of tests.

	Prusik knot at AllExperts
		Rescue teams such as Swiftwater rescue use a Prusik knot as a 'pulley tender' hitch, to hold a line taut while tensioning a highline for a Tyrolean traverse, or in boat-on-tether and similar rescue operations.
		This knot can slip on worn ropes, and for the purpose of ascending its use is largely superseded by mechanical ascenders.
		Should the abseiler release their brake hand, the knot prevents them falling out of control when it is tied around the fixed rope, below the descender, and attached to the harness.

	The Rolling Hitch (Taut Line Hitch)
		Uses: This Slide and Grip knot is a possible alternative to the Klemheist, Prusik, and Bachmann.
		As soon as the 'tuck' is made the knot is stable and functions as an "Awning Hitch" (picture on Left) (ABOK # 1798, p 304).
		Once the first part of the knot is secure and, as usual, will take the strain, the bight can be used to tie one or more half hitches.

	Prussik - ScoutWiki
		A Prusik (or Prussik or Prussic) is a friction hitch used in climbing, canyoneering, caving, rope rescue and by arborists to grab a rope (sometimes referred to as a rope-grab).
		The term Prusik is used both for the knot, for the loops of cord, and for the action (to prusik).
		The two main alternatives are the Bachmann knot and the Klemheist knot.

		The original prusik is multi directional (must be 2 size smaller of the rope that its wrap around), many variation of the prusik knot are not multi directional.

	Using Non-Mechanical Ascension \| GreatOutdoors.com
		The three knots below are easy to set up and are designed for ascending the rope because they can be loosened as you push them up, but they bind tightly when pulled downward.
		Knots can be considered every climber's connection to their life line.
		To release the knot after it has been weighted, simply push the binding hitch out a little bit away from the rope in order to loosen the loops around the rope.

	How to tie a Klemheist Knot for camping applications
		The Klemheist knot is a favourite amongst climbers and campers and bears some resemblence to the French Prusik knot.
		The knot combines friction in the turns with a passed bight to lock the knot.
		This is a knot that has been relied on by many a climber in a tight spot.

		The reason seems to be that the knot locks off with a force that is perpendicular to the rope that we are climbing.
		The advantage with the other knots in this group have is that they work in a spiral fashion.
		This knot can be tied using 1" tubular webbing on 11 mm rope and it will grip and slide like tensile cord.

		I would say that a french prusik is better than either of them, especially for the knot at the waist (where there won't be any tension when you are sliding the knot) as it is almost self releasing.
		For the leg knot, I would use somthing like a Bachmann knot as it is, again, very easy to slide up the rope.
		Its also worth emphisising that whatever knot you use, make sure that the cord is as thin as possible relative to the rope, and that you use as few turns as you can get away with.
