Vertical caving terminology and methods > Knots > Knot construction and behaviour
A variation of a noose where the tail of the knot is the side with the noose, and the noose can be tied on a bight. The result is that the knot can be intentionally untied by pulling on the tail. Pulling on the noose will cause the tail to pull through the knot, removing the noose. This is almost never used with SRT, because it is far too easy for it to happen accidentally, and must never be used in safety-critical situations. It may optionally be used when tying up the top of a tackle bag. It is also useful for tying shoelaces but that is not really relevant to SRT. However, you should probably tie your shoelaces, if you have them, before doing SRT. Just in case.
