Vertical caving terminology and methods > Knots > Common knots
A knot tied on a bight, used to waste an excess of rope. Can be used as a safety knot. Made from an overhand knot on a bight with an extra turn. While this is sometimes called a Capuchin knot by cavers, this confuses it with an actual Capuchin knot, which is quite different. The main similarities are that they are both based on an overhand knot, and with additional turns.
