List of friction hitch knots

Terminal nodes are self blocking points that will allow the ascent and descent on the rope. The tensile force is brought by a second cable to be attached mainly in the axial direction of the train is under load or rope or rope. The designs can be combined with different rope diameters ( cords ), carabiners, rings or belt loops.

Use and operation of

The action is based on a clamping effect. The stronger the node is loaded, the stronger it bekneift the intermediate, jammed rope / rope. Striking the many trips ( windings ) are the most terminal nodes are based. A larger number of trips a stronger holding force can be achieved in many terminal nodes. Specificity of the terminal nodes is that they reliably open after stress again: that's increasingly assured with increasing number of passages. Too many turns to make the most terminal nodes but unstable, the optimal number of turns depends on the thickness of the rope knots for umknoteten from which there is a precise experience sizes depending on usage.

The scope is versatile and refers to all those who are associated with ropes, for example:

• Sailboats
• Reliable trackable kick loops: Mountaineering ( self-rescue from the crevasse, upgrade the free rope and the like)
• Technical Climbing / Climbing Tree (IDT)
• Spelunking with Einseiltechnik (SRT ) and other specialized climbing techniques
