Vertical caving terminology and methods > Knots > Common knots
A threaded knot that is very hard to undo after loading, and should not normally be used on its own. However, this knot forms the basis of many other knots, and is much more useful in those other formats. May be used as the knots in a knotted handline. May be used at the end of a piece of string that is starting to fray, to stop the string from fraying any further than the knot. Should you use it anywhere else? I'm a frayed knot.
