	Knots and Ropework - Search View - MSN Encarta
		Knots used to attach one rope to another or to attach a rope to an object are known as bends and hitches.
		The square knot, also known as the reef knot because of its use in tying reefs in ships' sails (that is, reducing the area of the sail), is believed to be the oldest of all practical knots and is one of the most useful.
		The first overhand knot is tied with the ends of the rope as in the square knot, but in tying the second overhand knot the ends are doubled into loops and the knot is tied with the loops rather than the ends.

		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[?]).

	techniques - knot knowing
		There are several methods of whipping, all of them made by wrapping and tightly securing a length of twine around the rope's loose end.
		Similar to the common whipping except that the first end of the twine is left out clear before starting the second series of turns; it is completed by tying a reef knot and then trimming the ends.
		As an added precaution against the strands unlaying, an American or common whipping should be placed at a distance from the end of the rope equal to approximately six times its circumference.

	Miscellaneous
		Uses: Whipping is a series of knots intended to stop a rope from unraveling.
		The benefit of a common whipping is that no tools are necessary and the rope does not need to be unlayed.
		Other whippings avoid this by interleaving the whipping with the strands of the rope and creating friction with the strands to avoid slipping.

	Whipping knot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A whipping is a kind of binding where multiple turns of small stuff are pulled tightly around the rope, near the cut end, and made neat and permanent by tying it off or sewing it through the rope.
		A constrictor knot or a turn of self-adhesive plastic tape can be used temporarily to hold the fibres of a cut line until a final whipping can be applied.
		To be truly robust and permanent, the ends of the strands may still need whipping, or the whole splice serving after the back-splice is finished as this work will not be held in permanent tension, and may tend to unravel if banged around in use.

	The Sailmaker's Whipping
		The whipping turns are contained by the frapping turns which both grip the rope and prevent the whipping from unwinding if damaged.
		This whipping can be used equally well on braided or kernmantle rope - but greater care is required to distribute the frapping turns evenly round the whipping.
		In practice, I usually tie a stack of multiple reef knots and then pull this chain of half hitches through the rope with a needle so that they are thoroughly buried and very unlikely to shake loose.

	Women Climbing: knots
		Both knots eventually tightened and locked up as they rolled, and the ropes then broke at some ridiculously high load - in other words strength of both knots was not an issue.
		For the purposes of equalizing several pieces into a belay anchor, any of these three knots is fine, as the central knot tied to equalize, creates such redundancy that the strand with the joining knot in question is carrying only a fraction of the load on the anchor.
		This means tying a knot in the rope between climbers every few feet, to add friction as the rope cuts through the snow in the case of a crevasse fall, and make it easier to arrest and stop the victim falling any further in than necessary.

		West Country Whipping is perhaps the next best whipping after the Sailmaker’s Whipping, this is fairly secure, but laborious to make and certainly not as neat in appearance.
		Sailmaker’s whipping is used when a rope end “whips” in the wind, the end quickly becomes unravelled and frayed.
		To complete the knot, instead of taking the loop round, behind and down through the turn, open it out a little and pass the whole of the knot through it, finally working up snugly.

		To tie the knot move the mouse along the numbers 1 - 13.
		However, it does fail slowly - the overhand knots work their way loose in succession and, as each one loosens, an opportunity is presented to procrastinate: tie another reef knot and put off having to whip the end properly with a better whipping.
		There is, however, an advantage in starting at the end and winding the twine inwards: when the whipping is completed, the ends can be pulled through the body of the rope to prevent them unravelling.
