Vertical caving terminology and methods > Knots > Common knots
A noose version of the multiple overhand knot, tied by threading or on a bight, occasionally used to attach carabiners to cows tails. In almost all cases, this knot has absolutely no benefits over a poacher's knot, which serves the exact same purpose, but it might be used as a way to waste a little more rope. Can perhaps be more reliable than a poacher's knot when used with Dyneema, but cows tails should not be made from Dyneema. Intentionally difficult to untie once set, because it is not supposed to be undone.
