I'm thinking of working up a "Knots and such for Canyoneering"
pamphlet. Here's my quick list of knots - wondering what other
people's opinions are regarding:
1. Webbing:
End vs. Bight
Overhand
Ring Bend (Water Knot)
Overhand on a Bight
Choke using an overhand on a bight
Wrapping a rock using a choke
2. Rope:
End vs. Bight
Overhand vs. Figure 8 vs. Figure 9
Offset Overhand Bend (with OOB backup)
F8 on a bight
F8 bunny ears (double figure 8)
F9 on a bight
Alpine Butterfly
3. Hitches:
Clove Hitch, regular, triple, on a carabiner
Stone Knot (Stein Knot)
Munter or Belay Hitch / Munter-Mule
Tensionless Hitch
Friction Hitches: Prusik, Autobloc, Kleinheist, Bachman
Mariner's Hitch
4. Esoterica
Double Fisherman's
Voodoo
Beer Knot
tying rope to webbing
5. Basic Rigging
Wrap Two, Pull One - etc.
Two point anchors - self-equalizing; non-extending; equalized, non-
extending.
Thanks in advance.
