Description: This appendix covers all the knots discussed in the book/website. For a more exhaustive summary of climbing knots see Nigel Shepherd’s The Complete Guide to Rope Techniques or Graig Luebben’s Knots for Climbers. The table summarises each knot’s use, advantages and disadvantages. A bight refers to a loop of rope which crosses itself, a hitch is a knot tied around something and bends join ends. All knots should be dressed correctly, i.e. the knot should be tight and without twists or loose sections. Dressing a knot makes it easier to spot if you have tied it incorrectly and reduces the likelihood it will come undone when it shouldn’t.
We also look at the advantages and disadvantages of tying in with a figure of eight or a bowline, how to cut and tie spectra cord, making alpine (sling) draws, tying into the middle of the rope and how to tape so you don’t bleed on those crack pitches.
