The nine knot is a kind of enhancement of the eight knot . But it only has half a turn more and no resemblance to the number nine.
application
The areas of application of the knot of nine are small. Clifford Ashley simply describes it as the intermediate knot between the figure eight and the stevedore knot, which occurs when you accidentally only make a half turn instead of a full turn.
In industrial climbing , it is occasionally used instead of the figure eight knot to tie a loop. It has a slightly greater knot strength than the figure-of-eight knot and is a little easier to loosen after use. The multiple wrapping creates increased friction, which somewhat reduces the risk of noise when the material is smooth. However, these advantages are so minor that most of the time the figure eight is used.
Knot
You start like tying a figure-of-eight knot by laying one eye and twisting it. Now the eye is turned another half turn and then the loose end is pushed through.
- Lay with double rope to form a loop of nine
first an "8"
Turn the loop again
put through - done
Alternatives
Climbers use the figure of eight or double bulin to rope up . In climbing gyms, you can occasionally find sackcloths on ropes . These can often no longer be loosened after loading and can be connected to the climbing harness with a carabiner.
