The slip knot is a knot that is used to block a rope when climbing .
application
The grinding knot is most widely used in climbing and makeshift mountain rescue . In most cases it is used to block a half-mast cast. This means that the belayer has his hands free to help his rope partner who has had an accident or to rest himself when he is taking a longer break. It can then be released easily and in a controlled manner.
The German Alpine Club teaches this knot as a standard knot for blocking a half-mast protection. It should be secured against accidentally slipping out.
Knot
This knot is tied under tension, i.e. when the climber is sitting on the rope. With the brake rope, the belayer puts a slipstek around the load rope so that the load rope comes to rest in the overhand knot and the slip points in the direction of the climber. The knot should be as close as possible to the half-mast cast because it slips towards the carabiner when loaded .
The finished slip knot must be secured after it has slipped through so that it does not come off by accidentally pulling on the slip. This is done with a carabiner that attaches the sling to the load rope or the HMS carabiner. If the end of the rope is long enough, it can also be put through the loop and thus replaces the rear-locking carabiner.
Alternatives
The mountain rescue knot is created if the back-up is carried out by means of a pocket stitch that is placed around the load rope .
The Austrian Alpine Club recommends the sound of water to block a half-mast throw .
