Know Your Knots

April 12, 2013

For most guided climbs you don’t need to know how to tie any knots, but as you progress as a climber this will change. Plus, if you enjoy climbing you’re probably a bit of a geek about this stuff like we are.

Animated Knots By Grog provides some great step by step instructions for a lot of the classic climbing knots.

Grab a 6 foot section of rope and get started with some of the more common knots used in the mountains like the Figure 8 (follow-through and on a bight), the butterfly, the clove hitch, the prussik, the double fisherman’s, the overhand, etc.

Have fun!
